There are a few individuals under consideration for the final
appointed Board seat.  This appointment is made after elections are
completed to balance the Board's composition, and represent the entire
Fedora community as much as possible.  Although this appointment is
ultimately up to the Fedora Project Leader to decide, generally the
FPL discusses the appointments with others to achieve a consensus.  I
expect to make this final appointment within the next few days.

The last meeting of the current Board will be this Thursday, June
25th.  The first meeting of the new Board will be the following
Thursday, July 2, which is also a public IRC meeting.
