2012 Board elections
| 
Dec 14 00:43 UTC 2011 |
Since nobody has entered this yet and the year is ending. Board
elections.
From what I can tell, there are five board members and four of them:
STeve Andre (steve)
Denise Anderson (denise)
Chuck Martin (unicorn)
Kent Nassen (kentn)
are either up for election this time or are term limited (served two
consecutive terms) Only Gelinas's term (elected last year) is not up
this year.
Maybe Grex needs to amend the bylaws to waive the term limits rule
before this election is held, then nobody will be prevented from
running for re-election.

Are you proposing removing the term limits rule in the by-laws?

I've just followed a discussion on a land-trust board about term limits. Most
have quite generous term limits. One I helped form has four consecutive two
year terms. Other have up to four three year terms. Amend the bylaws after
this vote (though that just puts off when the same problem occurs again).

Here's an idea. Why not have everyone agree *not* to run so there are
no elections this year. Then amend the bylaws to waive term limits and
quorums. This would leave Gelinas as a one member board for the next
year, effectively making him dictator. This would simplify the process
if the idea is to shut down the corporation over the next year and move
the conferences to a new platform. Gelinas could vote as the 1-person
board to sell the box to himself. The corporation goes away with no
more arguing.

Brilliant! But, he would not be a quorum: from the bylaws "A quorum consists
of five BOD members.".
