Will there be an honorary gopher as part of the menagerie?

Speaking of the old days.

Perhaps we could call the seat the "AIR Menagerie Representative-at-Large"[1] with a rotating two-year term, which cannot be filled by the same type of life form for two consecutive terms? That might be more inclusive while still allowing cats full opportunity?

[1] Formal title would be "Dean of the AOIR Animal Corps" for when they appear at the State of the Union speech.

@wm:  Love the FidoNet comment.  Ahhh the good ol' days.  :)
