Theory of controlling the complex systems differentiate two types of the system control: 1) "closed" board. Old board-members elect new board-members. 2) "open" board. ALL community elect new board-members and re-elect old board-members on a regular basis. Example of type 1 system: a committee of a totalitarian political party. Example of type 2 system: parliament in a democratic state. Theory says that type 1 system leads to degeneration of the board and extinction of the community, while type 2 system usually can adapt to new challenges of the environment and thus community can survive for a much longer period of time. I do not mean that OpenCA looks like totalitarian political party, but in practice choosing between types 1 and 2 means choosing between tendency for either 1) conservative, or 2) adaptive and flexible development of the project. Who offers new board-member, and who will vote? It is easy. Anyone who is active enough to send his offer or vote via email should be considered "an active user", and his vote should be counted.
