I believe so... that is IASA 1.0 was the first instantiation of IASA, IASA
2.0 is the second? I think we tried to side-step this by talking about IASA
as the generic support structure and IASA 2.0 as the new version (and I
haven't seen anyone explicitly use IASA 1.0 so maybe that's causing
confusion?).

Well, this assumes a 5-member board, but the board can grow to be 6 or 7 (4
and 5 votes respectively for 2/3) if it decides to appoint up to two
"LLC-appointed" members (Section 6.2). This was by design.

Hmmm, I don't find this confusing but a term like "as needed" may be more
clear? I don't think we intend to limit the ability of the board to adjourn
official business until they can get a quorum of folks in the room.

best, Joe
