This seems fair by democratic standards but life gets complicated. Would seven bisexuals step forward? It might be better to state that bisexuals would represent five to seven board members. The question is how close is any representation of bisexuals on GLBT organizations boards by the bylaws or constitution? Some have said that bylaws do not indicate such bylaws or any reference to mandatory representations of bisexuals on these boards. The representation of bisexuals on GLBT organization's boards was a reccommendation of the San Francisco report.
