maybe it would have helped a bit, if the election period of the MC ends in the middle of the election period of the board. > I don't personally consider people from the MC standing for the board > to be a large issue - if this is not becoming a habit.

The other one is the role of the MC in connection to the board (and the other way around). The tasks (and power) of the MC are written in § 12 I of the statutes. The statutes foresee that the MC act as independent as possible from the board (and the other way around too). Thus the people acting on both bodies shouldn't have immunity of witness because of a or economic dependence to a member of the the other body. And a personal view at the end: I think it would be too bad to have a longer break before one get elected for another body.
