6-Keeping retiring EB members active in the FoT project

We need all the accumulated expertise and cannot afford to lose the help of EB and other members of the FoT project who retire. Alternative plans for keeping them on as editors, consultants or personal members are important. We should make a round to hear about all EB members situation in relation to retirement, and if they retire before the end of the project – then how would they like to contribute.
