I believe that all have responded positively.  We now need to elect 
officers.  The current officers are me, lojbab as president, And (no 
longer on the Board) as Vice President (it technically is possible to 
have an officer who is not on the Board, but probably not a wise idea), 
and Riley Martinez-Lynch aka mukti as Secretary/Treasurer.  I am also 
serving as the Virginia corporate agent, which is a state requirement 
and not a Bylaws officer.

At this point, people should step forward and state whether they are 
willing to serve in any of the Officer roles, and whether they actually 
want the job.  Asking questions about what is needed in each job is also 
in order.

Perhaps in this governance "year" we can set forth a list of things that 
need doing/leading at the organization level, and allocate 
responsibilities to the various offices, but for the most part that has 
to come after we elect officers.

The governance year will hopefully be much shorter than a calendar year, 
because we probably need to start the next annual meeting by around 
September with a hope of actually finishing the meeting by the end of 
the year.

So please speak up.

-------------------

As stated in my first post above, I am willing to serve another year as 
President, but I do not believe that I can effectively lead the 
community in the way that I once did, and am not sure how much I want 
the job.  I am not active enough, and am not able and willing enough to 
make Lojban a higher priority in my life, which would be needed for me 
to properly lead.  I remain plateaued at a Lojban skill level 
insufficient to allow me to even keep up with discussion in-language, 
much less actively participate in same. I'm getting old, and whether or 
not my health remains a concern, I have more trouble learning new things 
in arenas where I am not totally focused.  I also am almost totally 
uninvolved in the modern Internet social networking community.  email 
and land-line telephone are 99% of my communication.

On the other hand, I still support the goals of the language and the 
organization, and have a good portion of the institutional memory of the 
Loglan/Lojban effort.  With a Vice President who could and would do more 
of what I cannot, things might work better than they have.

I still am capable of serving as the Virginia agent, so that my home 
address remains the official corporate address.  The primary job is 
relaying communications received at that address to whoever is 
responsible for handling the issue.  This includes state notices, like 
our annual corporate filing, and occasional queries and book orders 
received by snail mail.
