The above is confusing to me.  Could you clarify?  Specifically, it is
stated that only one contacted person expressed interest, but the
Board then voted on 5 candidates.  Did the Board choose 5 new random
candidates without contacting them first, or vote on the people that
didn't express interest, or... what exactly did the Board vote on?
