I don't believe this can take place until the election in 2013 when, if this passes, the membership will only vote for 4 persons (not 7) to serve on the board. The same will happen in 2014 which will bring the total number of directors down to 8 - vote for 4 every year. So the 2015 year will be the first with only 8 directors.
