The main duties of LLG members are, unofficially:
1. Attending meetings (= email discussion) and paying attention.
2. Electing the Board of Directors.
3. Participating in a spirit of friendship to Lojban.There is no stigma at all to proposing oneself for membership. LLG membership is a form of not very onerous service to the community.
Volunteers for candidacy for election to the Board are also very welcome, if the candidacy is coupled with a sincere and realizable intention to make a useful contribution to the work of the LLG, and to fairly consistently participate in the deliberations of the Board. We're also going to need a new Vice-president, since the current one, by his own admission, is not really up to scratch. Board membership, and holding one of the named offices, is a somewhat more onerous form of service to the community, and there has been a shortage of volunteers. The consequent detriment to the community is not so much in vital tasks not getting done, for all the vital stuff is done, heroically, by Robin, but rather in the forgone opportunity to do additional useful stuff.
