In res= ponse to Gleki's question, I think having two vice-presidents is an exc= ellent idea.

As for officer= s I vote for the current state of affairs except:
1. Karen = for President
2. If needed change bylaws to allow more than one V= ice-President that can start, run or adjourn meetings of the Board
3. I vote for la lojbab. and Curtis for Vice-Presidents unless some of th= em don't want that.

Someone seriously needs to consider other options to reduce the cost of
CLL being sold. Lulu, more delving into the mechanics of print-on-demand facilities, what else?

I believe a couple of years ago, I requested that people research other POD= and distribution options, especially for international Lojbanists. There w= as some discussion, but it was largely left to Robin.=C2=A0 He did what he = was willing to do as part of the process of his stepping down from active l= eadership.

The price on amazon seems high to me, but is actually not by the standards = of textbook level publication in the US.=C2=A0 Most textbooks are much high= er.

=C2=A0 For exa= mple, the Russian textbook used in my son's college level beginning Rus= sian class a few years ago is going for $116 on amazon these days for the t= extbook alone, and almost $200 for the set of materials required for a clas= s (see "frequently bought together" on the link page below).

I daresay that a Russian language textbook in Russia is a lot cheaper %^)

I vote for Karen being the President.
And I would like more people eligible for running LLG and LLG board
meetings in case the President is temporarily unavailable (e.g.
vacation). Probably, this would require some bylaws to be changed?

The VP is the one nominally given that job, and has little else as official= duties.=C2=A0 If they can't or won't, maybe people should choose a= VP who will do so.=C2=A0 But we haven't exactly had a plethora of volu= nteers for any of the offices, and you in particular were one I unsuccessfu= lly tried to recruit a long time ago.

I= remember we had Curtis and Karen as candidates. Can we have two vice presi= dents from now on?
=C2=A0

The Board, which is in constant session after this initial kick-off, and wh= ich elects officers, can ad hoc replace a vacancy in one or all offices.=C2= =A0 That is more-or-less what happened when Matt suddenly resigned as presi= dent a few years ago.
