We have no explicit provision either allowing or prohibiting write-in
candidates. In the absence of anything specific, we'd go with the normal
rules of order, which _do_ allow nominations to be made at the meeting
itself.

Can we have write-in candidates?

Is it me, or are we short on candidates?
What do the by-laws say when (as now) there are fewer candidates than
positions? I count six candidates for a seven-member board.
Our bylaws don't make any special provisions for such a scenario. Assuming
that, as a result of the election, one seat remains vacant -- and, at the
moment, I don't see any way to avoid this -- the Board can subsequently
appoint someone to fill the vacant seat under a provision of the DC Code (§
29-406.10).
