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. :)

I think it would be great if Slynne were willing to run. :)

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.)

And then there are the retreats in Cancun.
Oops.

I'd like to second the nominations of slynne, bhelliom, and krj. I'm happy
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?)

I believe due to an amendment made some time last year, boardmembers
can now call into the meetings. I don't know if the infrastructure is
present at this time, but I guess now's a good time as any to put that
amendment to work.
If you're still upto nominating cross, davel, I'll second. (Do I have
to be a member to second?)
I'd also nominate jp2, if he hadn't pre-empted me and gone ahead. Sure
he'd be a pain in the posterior, but I believe he would be a real
value addition to the board.

I'm flattered, but I'm going to respectfully decline due to other time
commitments. :-)

Re #39: No seconds are needed. Self-nomination is allowed. The only
thing you need to be a member for is to appear on the ballot. (See #0,
where I said all this.) Also, jp2 nominated himself already.

By the way, thanks to slynne for nominating me, but I'm going to decline.
Doesn't feel right. Maybe in the future. (I've served three full terms
in the past.)

Glenda wil accept or decline as soon as she sees what her schedule will look
like. My current schedule has me either in class or TA for a class every
evening until between 7 and 9. I could not accept in good conscience if I
don't have some evenings free.

Regarding #41; Not for this election. I nominated jp2, if I'm not mistaken.
Or maybe I just seconded him.
Hell, I don't remember. my memory is clearly going.

I think you niominated and he accepted. Or maybe not. Point is he was
already nominated by the time I got round to it. That's why I said "he
pre-empted me..."
Never mind. I'm hoping there is at least one non-local baord member.
It would be interesting to see how it works out. But with just one non-
local candidate, that might not happen this year

I will accept. However, I am not currently eligable to run as I am not
a member. I am broke until tomorrow but will paypal my money then.

Not that it matters much, but jp2 nominated himself and cross seconded.

Actually, I think he nominated himself, and then I re-nominated him,
and then he accepted my nomination. Not that it matters.
