Since Timo is already a member of LLG, there needs to be no motion to that effect. Looking at the context, Timo is nominating himself/volunteering for the Board of Directors. No motions are needed for Director elections (people have made motions to elect a slate, in order to speed up the voting, since people can just say "yes" rather than list names, but let's wait until the list of candidates is finalized before bothering with that). We want to know that the person involved is willing to run, and that's really what I was calling for in my report - that a few more people make this commitment. Anyone can nominate, including the person themselves. Likewise, if it comes that we want to have a motion to elect a slate, it can be someone on that slate that makes the motion. (I'm trying to keep myself from making motions, since I am chairing the meeting, but otherwise any member can make a motion). -- Bob LeChevalier lojbab@lojban.org www.lojban.org President and Founder, The Logical Language Group, Inc.
