Great question, Chris. More nominees the better! To echo Karen, I'll quote the Bylaws: http://wiki.freeculture.org/Bylaws#Section_1.1._Board_Elections
"Article V: Officers and Elections Section 1. Board of Directors Section 1.1. Board Elections Section 1.1.1. Annual Elections Elections shall be called once a year in the spring for all seats on the board. Members of any chapter (as defined by the chapter) and current members of the board of directors can nominate themselves or other eligible individuals for board positions. Members of any chapter (as defined by the chapter) and current members of the board of directors shall be eligible to stand for election to the board."
