I volunteer for the board of directors.

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

My first reason for hesitation is that, although I have been connected in
some way to the Lojban community for over thirteen years and feel a strong
commitment to its success, I am not currently an active user of the
language, and don't anticipate this changing in the immediate future; this
makes me wonder how effective I would be at helping to steer things in the
direction which best serves the community of those who are.

The second, larger reason is my job: I work in the sports industry, which
means there's a period of time every year during 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 this lasts for three months out of
every year and I'm only needed part-time 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, all year round. But during
baseball season, when I am not blessed with a superabundance of free time,
I cannot promise any particularly large time commitment for board work.

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