[kictanet] board members - Procedure for appointment?

Mon Aug 13 21:24:15 EAT 2007

I believe the board members have terms and more people will have an
opportunity to serve in future.

The board is new and it is not necessarily that membership is on reward
basis. Its about work! We shall be definitely challenging. Thats how i see
it.
