Should we limit the number of candidates who are allowed to run? And, what would be the limits we want to put on this? I wonder first if it is a problem, and then second what is the solution? I like the idea that so many are willing to serve this club by running, and can't figure out how to limit the list, or if it is necessary. I like this thread, and am looking for suggestions. I don't have an answer yet. One thing that does strike me is that every vote is important, maybe this year more than most.
