I'd like to add an item to discuss authorizing the staff to buy a Pentium
machine, and an item to discuss copyright issues. Also - we need to sign
the account agreement for the CD we bought. Don't let me forget to pass
that around.

Another item: Ballot eligibility in the upcoming Board election.
There's one declared candidate who appears unlikely to satisfy the
"able to attend face-to-face meetings" requirement of the bylaws.
Since I'm the election administrator and will be making up the
ballot, I'd like a ruling from the board on whether such folks are
eligible to run.
I always check with the treasurer just before the election starts
to make sure all the candidates are current members. The issue of
satisfying the attendance requirement hasn't come up before, and
I think the board needs to rule on how that should be handled.

Sounds to me like a pro forma declaration of established policy, but if you are
more comfortable with it, I don't mind.

unless a candidate comes out and states flatly that he wont be able
to physically attend any meetings, then I guess you have to take that
candidate's candidacy at face value until such time as he is elected
and actually doesnt attend the meetings. And once he misses physically
attending the requisite number of meetings, he'd be removed. Unless jp2
states flat out he wont physically attend any meetings, I dont see that
disqualifying im from the ballot even if he isnt intending to physically
attend any.

I think jp2 has made clear his intentions regarding in-the-flesh attendance of
Board meetings in Ann Arbor. Is there any dispute on this point?

The bylaws simply state board meetings are to be
held "face to face". the bylaws dont state that someone living out of
town, or who has not stated his willingness to physcially attend
meetings, is automatically disqualified.
In fact the bylaws dont I believe state any other qualification for
running for the board other than being a member in good standing and
having paid three months dues. And if the bylaws were to be amended,
would it be legal to have it affect nominations that were in place
before the amendment?
