Agreed.

It seems there are usually plenty of members matching that de= scription-- including, most of the time, me.

I do so with the following comments: I've been a= sked off-list to step forward if I would be willing to serve in this capaci= ty, and I replied that I would - but I give this answer with slight trepida= tion, and it is my hope that seven clearly better candidates will exist.

My first reason for hesitation is that, although I h= ave been connected in some way to the Lojban community for over thirteen ye= ars and feel a strong commitment to its success, I am not currently an acti= ve user of the language, and don't anticipate this changing in the imme= diate future; this makes me wonder how effective I would be at helping to s= teer things in the direction which best serves the community of those who a= re.

The second, larger reason is my job: I work in= the sports industry, which means there's a period of time every year d= uring which a work week of only forty hours is an atypical occurrence, and = sixty is not unheard of. (At the small-market team where I currently work t= his lasts for three months out of every year and I'm only needed part-t= ime the rest of the time; I'm actively hunting for jobs where it would = be nearly twice that.) I can certainly commit to being responsive to e-mail= on a daily basis and to paying attention to the ongoing board processes, a= ll year round. But during baseball season, when I am not blessed with a sup= erabundance of free time, I cannot promise any particularly large time comm= itment for board work.

If, having heard these fact= s and considered their impact on the matter, the membership wishes to have = me on the Board, it is a responsibility I will shoulder proudly.
