Nominees have until the start of the election on December 1 to decide
whether to run. At this point, several people have been nominated who
have neither accepted nor declined.

I'd like to nominate Steve Weiss (srw) for the board.
Too, there must be people out there interested and willing
to serve a term or two. Please don't wait for someone to
think of you as a candidate, just jump in and volunteer
yourself as a candidate. Being nominated isn't necessary.

Just a quick question for future reference (as I have not finished reading
through the grex charter/bylaws/amendment history)...
Is physical presence a formal requirement of board membership? If not
a formal requirement, is it a practical necessity in order to contribute
meaningfully as a board member or have any board members ever served
from afar?

Physical presence is no longer required for service on the Board
of Directors. A membership vote last year answered this question.
The question voted on allowed participartion over a speaker 'phone.
No one has yet served from afar.

Really? Cool! I've been looking for a way to get more involved with
contributing to grex.
I'd like to formally nominate myself to run for one of the open BOD
positions.

I second that nomination. I think Bruce Howard would be an excellent addition
to the GreX B0D and encourage everyone to vote for him.

Just a quick question - is there a limit to the number of people who can be
on board but not physically present at board meetings? If you have a limit
of 1, you have bhoward and jp2 running for that position. So only one of these
people can be voted to board.

There is not a limit. Technical arrangements may get tricky with more than
one remote attendee, but I think we can work it out.

("!members")
(there's also likely the issue of being a non-resident of the USA.
I'm not compelled to look up the relevant text.)

Unfourtunately, I haven't paid for membership. Due to the rather precarious
state of GreX accounts at the moment, I'm not really compelled to become one
at the moment.

Jp2 is correct - a board of directors of a Michigan corporation
can have a limited number of members who are under 18, as long as
they are at least 16. I think the "limited number" might be 1.
This is due to fairly recent changes in Michigan law.

Re #95: Timing issues could be tricky as well if the remote member
is in a time zone significantly distant from Ann Arbor.
