Board (3) The Board is composed of: a) one Chairperson, b) one Vice-Chairperson, c) five Board Members (4) The Board elects among the Board Members a) a Treasurer and b) a Chief of Administration c) a Chairperson or Vice-Chairperson if the seat became vacant No Board Member shall fulfil more than one office. __________________________________________________________ '''Current wording:''' XXII. Board (3) The Board is composed of: a) two Co-Chairmen, b) five Board Members (4) The Board elects among the Board Members a) a Treasurer and b) a Chief of Administration No Board Member shall fulfil more than one office. ==reasoning and motivation== Out of living practice among the PPI board there had had been no positive outcome from having two chairs. On the contrary the situation that two co-chairs have shared responsibilities have led sometimes to conflict situation, where any responsible action was avoided. A living and vital leadership is necessary to have a working board. From the experience from last year some regulation has to be found if a Chair becomes vacant.
