I am glad to see this come up as I felt that we were letting too much time pass to guess this seat filled. With another motion riding on the fulfullment of this one, time is of essence. I also see nothing wrong with having it done as an applications process. The bylaws don't spell out how the Board fills vacant seats - just that the Board do so. The applications process might bring forward someone with a great deal of interest whom nobody had thought of before.
