My idea for a BoD would have a dozen or so members. Have a man like Cotman heading the new sanction and on the board. Then have Gurney and Andretti with him. For the teams, have two representatives for the larger teams, and two for the smaller ones. Have three independent track owners/operators on the board (TG doesn't get veto power). Finally, have a representative for the chassis builders and one for the engine suppliers. Aside from the first three people mentioned (Cotman, Andretti, Gurney), I would give veto power to Penske for the larger teams, Dale Coyne for the smaller teams, and one of the other two independent track owners/operators. Thus, everyone of consequence has a voice at the table, but the more overbearing parties can be held in check.

Makes sense to me. I may not agree to the letter but it's a great start.
