I had hoped mukti would be back by now, and would have posted the above, 
but it seems not to be the case.  In order to move the meetinbg along, I 
will suggest that someone move that we defer these items until the 2017 
meeting.

Thanks to the two of you for the reports.  Reappointment of the byfy 
chair will be under old business.

One of mukti's suggestions for expediting future meetings, so that they 
don't last for months, is that whereever possible, motions are presented 
in advance of the (next) meeting and discussed on various forums 
(including the members list, but also IRC and whatever else people want 
to try), before they are formally raised at the meeting.  I suspect that 
some of the things suggested by the byfy chair in his report would best 
be discussed in the context of such motions as would support their 
implementation.  selpa'i, could you prepare such motions, and post them 
when appropriate.  (in the current suggestion, I suspect that we can 
have such motions posted as new business, and at the same time tabled 
until the next meeting.  Or just post them for discussion now while we 
are still on reports.

I haven't seen a report from Karen or Curtis.  We really need to figure 
out what LLG will be doing as an organization in a post-lojbab 
environment, and the inputs from the community are essential.  Please 
report.

Again this will have to wait for mukti to have time to make such a report.

My thanks to guskant and to gleki for their reports.  It is not clear 
that either of these points to a motion to be considered by the 
membership.  If I am incorrect, please proceed as mentioned above for 
byfy reports.

It is not clear that all reports that will be made are completed, but in 
the interests of moving the meeting along, I call for people wishing to 
become members to speak up now, (along with any proposals by others for 
people not currently present to become members - we will need to get 
them to state that they wish to be members, and get them added to this 
mailing list).

I will allow another week for any additional reports, as well as motions 
regarding deferring of minutes and reports (which motions can be 
seconded without waiting for me).  Then we will act on any motions as 
appropriate and approve those new members.  Then Board elections, short 
consideration of motions, and we adjourn.

Again, the following:
