 There have been motions and seconds covering all of the above except Andrew= Browne, who has not requested membership to my knowledge.

If there are no objections prior to the end of the day UT on Sunday 12/14, = all of those nominated shall be considered members.

-------------------------------------------------------------= ----------

Election of the Board of Directors of LLG will open on Monday 12/16.=C2=A0 = To let people think about it:

From the Bylaws:
Section 2. How Elected. At the Annual Meeting of members, the three
(3) persons receiving a plurality of the votes cast and up to four
(4) additional persons receiving a majority of votes shall be
Directors and shall constitute the Board of Directors for the ensuing
year.

In addition, one Board Member must be resident in the state of Virginia, wh= o may or may not be among the up-to-seven listed above, and serves as the o= fficial contact for the organization under state law.=C2=A0 I have served a= s the Virginia resident Board member since this Bylaw was added (it was add= ed in recognition of the fact that I will someday no longer be on the Board= , but the state legally requires a resident to serve in an official capacit= y).

The LLG Board meets continuously on its own mailing list, and thus anyone s= erving on the Board should be committed to being easily reached be email on= a day-to-day basis.=C2=A0 We also have to provide the state with legal nam= es and addresses for Directors.

Directors have legal responsibility for the organization and its actions.= =C2=A0 This becomes a consideration when dealing with issues like copyright= , tax laws (LLG is recognized as a non-profit scientific/educational organi= zation for tax purposes, which means that Americans and possibly others can= donate money to us with tax benefits), and the current proposal to hire an= employee.

The Directors elect the corporate officers after this members meeting has c= oncluded.=C2=A0 In theory, a non-Director or even a non-Member could be ele= cted, but this has never happened.

You must explicitly volunteer in order to be considered for the Board (the = existing slate is considered to have volunteered, but any Board member can = withdraw).=C2=A0 The voting procedure varies based on how many candidates t= here are.

LeChevalier, Robert - President
Vilva, Veijo - Vice-President
Powell, Robin Lee - Secretary/Treasurer
Johansen, Arnt Richard
Paulssen, Timo
