In the event of not enough board members, should we choose five rather than
e.g. six, such that votes wouldn't be hung? Or appoint someone to break
ties? The philosophers rarely bring enough forks for spaghetti anyhow, and
an extra cause of deadlock would be bad.

Andreas does make a good point. There is a contingency here that we might
consider planning for, even if it is an edge case. And I really like my
bowler.
