Yes, we discussed that in yesterday's meeting. 
See:

Means - we would like to see the 5+2 MC setup and would ask the BoD to 
appoint the successor for Thorsten and two deputies. In our discussion
we considered only two for that position (so other suggestions are 
welcome).

All this onlyy for the case we do not have elections right now.

regards,

André
