I agree wholeheartedly with the last sentence in resp:13 above.
Also, Mark deserves a break if he wants it, but if he'd be willing to
provide guidance and consultation to whomever succeeds him, I'm sure it
would be greatly appreciated by us all.

We've survived without Mark in the past. We should practice surviving again
next year.

Next year, Mark will still be on the board.
Could we keep this item focused on board nominations, please?

the nice things people said about me.
I'd like to nominate Jan Wolter.

I nominate Bhelliom and KRJ. bhelliom because she is a good member and
from what I read of the minutes, it seems like she attends most of the
meetings. Besides she's mooncat's roomie, and with both of them on the
board, you figure they can remind each other to go. And krj. because well
I have often heard him talk of how good the sandwiches at Zingerman's are,
so I figure he'd probably like the excuse to go to Zing's more often :)

I'll run for another term. Thanks, Joe.
Would either polygon or slynne consider serving on
the board?

I dont know. I would like to do my part to help grex but I *hate*
meetings. I will think about it. I'll send in some money for a
membership anyways I guess, just in case.

Hehe, I hate meetings too, slynne. Grex's meetings aren't usually *too*
awful, as these things go. Being at Zingerman's helps. :)

Hey, maybe we should play that up as an incentive to running for the
Board -- great food at meetings! (You have to pay for it yourself,
of course.)

Mary is running again, too.

Valerie and I generally spend 7pm to 8pm every night putting kids to bed.
It's fairly common for the process to go later than 8pm. Because of this,
evening meetings are pretty difficult to attend, and attending meetings is
pretty much the sole duty of a board member. I could probably find a way
to deal with this, but I think there are plenty of people who can do the
job as well with less awkwardness. So for now, I think I'll stick with just
being on staff.

Do you read excerpts from "The C Programming Language" to your kids?

resp:24 - Thanks, Richard...I think. We neither or us need a keeper,
though the strategy that you mentioned about reminders makes sense for
anyone that can't right things down. :)
I'll take a couple of days to think on it. Last winter was not the best
period of time for me, and I'm still in the process of reconstruction so
to speak. While this wouldn't impact my ability to be on the board and
attend meetings, I still want to keep things in perspective and that
means taking this into consideration. I'm also feeling a rather guilty
for my lack of precence on the system lately, and I'd need to reconcile
that with being on the board. While I would increase my precence on the
system as a board member, grex itself and other users is why I primarily
want to be around.
So I'll take a couple of days, and post my decision then, if that is
acceptable to everyone.

Sure, take what time you need. The drop-dead deadline for accepting
a nomination isn't until November 30, in any case.

I'd nominate cross if he were near enough to attend board meetings.
I would also join in seconding a couple of those who haven't responded,
but what's needed is their response, not a second. (Possibly they're not
reading coop? Possibly this should be linked to agora?)
