The Board considers recommendations for nominees from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board determined the appropriate characteristics, skills, and experience for the Board as a whole and for its individual members. The Board will consider the minimum general criteria set forth below, and may add any specific additional criteria with respect to specific searches, in selecting candidates and existing directors for service on the Board. An acceptable candidate may not fully satisfy all of the criteria, but is expected to satisfy nearly all of them. In considering candidates recommended by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board intends to consider such factors as:
