:::* Key issue: Conservation of talent.
:::* Better to choose leader rather than imposed.
:::* Primary importance: get the talent where its needed.
::* David:
:::* Agree on talent issue.
:::* Don't like board choosing. Awkward, potentially devisive.
:::* Get bad choice anyway (least offensive to board?)
:::* Nomcom takes ego out of equation a little.
:::* First meeting can divide the board.
