The MC is in charge of supervising the BoD election so clearly someone running for a BoD possition cannot be member of the MC The MC is in charge of supervising "Solemn Address and Impeachment of the Board of Directors". again that create a conflict of interest if one is allowed to be BoD member and MC member. So, MC membership and BoD membership and candidacy are mutually exclusive. This has been overlooked during this election cycle. Thorsthen should have resigned of his MC position as soon as he declared his intention to run for a BoD position. I don;t think that there is any suspicion that this 'irregularity' had any impact on the election, and clearly Thorsten election and behavior are beyond reproach. Still, The forms do matter, and even the impression of impropriety can create un-welcomed drama/suspiction/FUD etc... Hence the necessity to rectify the situation, hence Thorsten stepping down from his MC responsibilities. Does that clarifies it ?
