[At-Large] The Appointment Process

Karl, while many of us still prefer the election model, the Board has only agreed to an appointment model. In an appointment model some group of people will make the final decision as to whom is ultimately annointed. At issue is the composition of the group that makes the selection and the process that they will invoke. I see that you are not keen on having the ALS/RALO/ALAC members make the selection. If broad-based elections are out of the equation, what group then, in your view, is most suited to be the appointing body?
