From the transcript
So there's conflict between gear type. And so again, I support the notion that if the legislature would come and propose legislation, I would be willing to expand the board to 11 members if at all possible, because then that's how you get— without the seats there, you can't get the representation. It's just, it's mathematically not possible. So again, I think I would support having commercial interest on the board. But also more people from other voices too.
