1. The board of directors of the association shall consist of not less than five nor more

than nine member insurers serving terms as established in the plan of operation. The

insurer members of the board must be selected by member insurers, subject to the

approval of the commissioner. Vacancies on the board must be filled for the remaining

period of the term by a majority vote of the remaining board members, for member

insurers, subject to the approval of the commissioner. To select the initial board of

directors, and initially organize the association, the commissioner shall give notice to

all member insurers of the time and place of the organizational meeting. In determining

voting rights of the organizational meeting, each member insurer is entitled to one vote

in person or by proxy. If the board of directors is not selected within sixty days after

notice of the organizational meeting, the commissioner may appoint the initial

members.

2. In approving selections or in appointing members to the board, the commissioner shall

consider, among other things, whether all member insurers are fairly represented.

3. Members of the board may be reimbursed from the assets of the association for

expenses incurred by them as members of the board of directors but members of the

board may not otherwise be compensated by the association for their services.
