There being several new Board members, it is proper to declare the old

So:=C2=A0 I call the Board of Directors of the Logical Language Group, Inc.=

Board members please post an email indicating your presence at the meeting.=

After the attendance is verified, the first order of business is

the officers, and consider if you are willing to serve.

I am willing to serve one more year as president.=C2=A0 But rather more

as president when I step down or am unable to do the job.=C2=A0 If ko'a= feels

Robert LeChevalier, President
The Logical Language Group, Inc.

 I believe that all have responded positively.=C2=A0 We now need to elect of= ficers.=C2=A0 The current officers are me, lojbab as president, And (no lon= ger 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 M= artinez-Lynch aka mukti as Secretary/Treasurer.=C2=A0 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 willin= g to serve in any of the Officer roles, and whether they actually want the = job.=C2=A0 Asking questions about what is needed in each job is also in ord= er.

Perhaps in this governance "year" we can set forth a list of thin= gs that need doing/leading at the organization level, and allocate responsi= bilities to the various offices, but for the most part that has to come aft= er we elect officers.

The governance year will hopefully be much shorter than a calendar year, be= cause 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.

If the Board or LLG= in general needs any temporary work to be done I will try as much as possi= ble.
If And is willing to do some job related to the Board I'= m ready to step down to give space.

As for the Pre= sident I'd still want to see some person who is in the order of my pref= erence (I'm reminding my previous position):
1. US resident a= vailable to mass media (because LLG is technically in US)
2. spea= ks at least simple Lojban (fluency in at least 500 words of core cmavo/gism= u lexicon)

=C2=A0

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

As stated in my first post above, I am willing to serve another year as Pre= sident, but I do not believe that I can effectively lead the community in t= he way that I once did, and am not sure how much I want the job.=C2=A0 I am= not active enough, and am not able and willing enough to make Lojban a hig= her priority in my life, which would be needed for me to properly lead.=C2= =A0 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.

On the other hand, I still support the goals of the language and the organi= zation, and have a good portion of the institutional memory of the Loglan/L= ojban effort.=C2=A0 With a Vice President who could and would do more of wh= at I cannot, things might work better than they have.

I still am capable of serving as the Virginia agent, so that my home addres= s remains the official corporate address.=C2=A0 The primary job is relaying= communications received at that address to whoever is responsible for hand= ling the issue.=C2=A0 This includes state notices, like our annual corporat= e filing, and occasional queries and book orders received by snail mail.
