Yes, with or without https://github.com/w3c/w3process/pull/227 to address a concern from Ralph (but preferably with it).

This softens that change, saying “at least 9 and no more than 11”, and defines how the elections and so on run to manage that. While we’re in this area, it’s convenient to land this at the same time.
