re 24:
The time for the board meetings is not set in stone. If a board member
can't make it to meetings because of the time, it would make sense to change
the meeting time.

re #25: We *could rehash dead horses here, but now it's illegal to do it in
California...

Agree strongly with resp:24. Weekend evenings would be possible for
board meetings.

I also think that it would be bad for the board to become
non-technically-able, but very good to have some members of the board who are
not technically oriented. Sindi, IMNAAHO you should reconsider.
(I also note that we're using "technical" in a somewhat limited sense.
Sindi's translation work is surely quite technical at times, for example.)

I would also support Sindi's candidacy, as a fellow non-techie.

I nominate Dave Lovelace and David Cahill for board members. I will be happy
to attend an occasional meeting but really do not know enough to make
decisions (i. e., vote). My technical expertise is in things like pharmacy,
chemistry, and botany, I don't even understand many of the words used in this
conference. I don't know what an IC is.
(Or what part of speech it is).

I decline, for reasons too many to name, but thanks anyway, Sindi.

Re resp:33 - IC is the name of the company that used to provide our
internet connection.

Dave Cahill has been an excellent Board member for Arbornet.

'Fraid I second, third, whatever, my declination. I would be a poor choice,
on several grounds.

I'm waiting to respond, because I may get an assignment that keeps me out of
town a lot. I'll let you know early next week.

FINAL REMINDER: Sunday, Nov. 15 (tomorrow) is the last day to place new
names in nomination.
Nominees so far who have accepted are:
Eric Bassey (other)
Jan Wolter (janc)
STeve Andre (steve)
John Remmers (remmers)
Colleen McGee (cmcgee)
Jennifer Kriegel (jiffer)
David Cahill (dpc)
Mark Ziemba (mziemba)
Colleen's acceptance is conditional based on information she won't have
until after November 15. But since any other nominee could also withdraw
after that deadline, I think she should be included in the list.
Eight nominees for three open slots. I think this is the most
competitive Board election that we've had in a while.
