Is it really the case that, as Bob seemed to say, one must v= olunteer rather than nominate others?

If so, then, willing rather than desirous to stand, I will v= olunteer, but I strongly urge everyone who's willing to stand, includin= g new members, so that we can elect by some benign method such as Approval.= I deffo don't consider myself one of the suitablest candidates...

I volunteer = for the board of directors.

I do so with the following c= omments: 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 an= swer with slight trepidation, and it is my hope that seven clearly better c= andidates will exist.

My first reason for hesitati= on is that, although I have been connected in some way to the Lojban commun= ity 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 t= his 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 rea= son is my job: I work in the sports industry, which means there's a per= iod of time every year during which a work week of only forty hours is an a= typical 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&= #39;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 be= ing responsive to e-mail on a daily basis and to paying attention to the on= going board processes, all year round. But during baseball season, when I a= m not blessed with a superabundance of free time, I cannot promise any part= icularly large time commitment for board work.

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