Believe it or not, this is something the board has periodically 
considered bringing to the membership.  Again, since there has been no 
complaint with the performance of, or selection of candidates for the 
officers, there has been no motivation to alter the status quo.

You may have noticed that one of the hallmarks of Grex's operations is 
that we try not to go out of our way to fix policy things that are not 
broken.  Our approach has been to keep stated policy to a minimum, in 
order to maintain flexibility and not overburden our small organization 
with regulation.  So far, we have been able to operate very 
satisfactorily within the parameters of our mission with minimal policy 
(as opposed to technical) management, and until it appears that we are 
failing in that endeavour, we shall very likely continue in the same 
vein.

Now I'm not stating an active opposition to change here, but I think I am 
fairly accurately reflecting the values which guide the decisions of the 
voting membership.  Someone please correct me if I am mistaken.
