Hello :)
Wanted to make you all aware of the conversation that happened in the TC channel today[1] which was a reminder of a previous conversation about reducing the size of the TC.
It was concluded by the previous TC that we would gradually reduce from 13 seats to 9 over the course of two elections (dropping two seats each election). From that point on, we would continue with the normal cadence of cycling about half the seats each election ( 4 seats and 5 seats)[2].
So, this coming election 6 members will be up for reelection with 4 seats available.
Hope this all makes sense!
