("!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.

John, it depends a bit on the distance and whether they are based to
the right or left of Ann Arbor.
Someone based in the UK would probably have a fair amount of difficulty
attending from afar unless they were a night person - a meeting held
~19:00 EST is around midnight in the UK depending on time of year.
On the other hand, 19:00 EST is more like 08:00 or 09:00 in Tokyo which
for me is actually quite a manageable time.

Again, you would expect the nominee to take the time difference into
consideration in deciding whether he wants to run. For me, an 8:00 am
time for a meeting would not work, but a midnight time is definitely
more manageable :)
My point is it's the nominee's call to make, not the board's. Of
course, a responsible person would decline the nomination if the time
did not work for him.

cmon, nominations close on saturday, there are seven nominees for four
slots..surely a couple of more people want to run so there can at least be
twice as many nominees as there are open seats

(Me too, since I nominated her.)
Deadlines:
November 15: Last day to place names into nomination.
November 30: Last day for a nominee to accept (and acquire
membership status, if they're not already a member).

November 15 has passed, so no new names may be placed in nomination.
Any nominee who has not yet accepted has through November 30 to do so.
I've emailed cmcgee, tod, polygon, krj, and srw alerting them to this.

Maybe we should have another item for allegations against running
members?

A new item for discussion by and about the candidates would be
very reasonable.

I would like to thank Mary for nominating me, but my current level of
time investment in Grex is such that it cannot be increased. I have
served on the board before, and it was both an honor and a good
experience, but right now I think I am more valuable as a staff member,
and cannot afford to do both. Therefore, I must decline.

Thanks to whomever for nominating me. I will have to think about this.
What night are the meetings held?

A night that is convenient for the Directors, of course. ;)
Scheduling the meetings sometimes seems to be the President's major
headache. :)
