<p>The suggestion was to embodied this in the board rules of order,
so something that can be put in place and changed by the board.
Essentially it just documents best practice that the board has
agreed to abide by.<br>

<div>Why not make it a good governance practice? Meaning - board
members should advise the community about their intentions.
This helps for transparency and planning around the election
process. </div>

<p>That is the main point, while you might get a few takers if you
tell them you are guaranteed not to be elected, this is not what
we want and it is unfair to talk people into standing and going
through all the motions when you know that there is no chance for
success.<br>

It is "more likely" as in there has not been an incumbent that
stood for <br>
re-election that hasn't been successful in modern times. And
even <br>
historically it has only happened twice and in both cases the
candidates <br>
were very unpopular (something that cannot be said about the
current board).<br>
