1. Not making a distinction and combining the (vacancy of) One Year to Two Years and Less than One Year periods, treating them as one (Appointment Until An Election is Held).
2. The Board acts as a "Committee of the Whole".
3. Appoint a former trustee to the category he or she last served in (i.e. Executive to Executive; Employee to Employee; Annuitant to Annuitant).
4. If a former trustee is not available:
   1. Solicit candidates for a position from the appropriate Trustee Group (Executive, Employee or Annuitant).
   2. The Board will review resumes, conduct interviews and appoint a replacement trustee until an election is held and the elected trustee takes office.
