-In addition to now being able to vote out their own colleagues at will without cause, the Board has also shrunk itself. According to [[http://fanlore.org/wiki/Organization_for_Transformative_Works/Board|this Fanlore page]], there should be nine seats, but [[http://transformativeworks.org/about/people|per the OTW website]] there are currently six sitting members. The election is supposedly for two seats, which will result in a five-person Board.
