History: LLG 2005 Annual Meeting Announcement

Source of version: 2 (current)

''Posted by Robin Powell to llg-members and lojban on November 2, 2005:'' This year's meeting is going to take place on the mailing list during the month of November. John Cowan is chairing. The meeting will take place in a format as much like a face-to-face meeting as possible; that is, motions, discussion, and voting will all be interspersed as the chair determines is appropriate. The one exception to that format is that voting for officers will close at the end of the 3rd week in November (that is, Sunday the 20th of November 2005) so I can give the government some paperwork they need. Some general notes: Non-LLG members who wish to observe will be added to the mailing list on an ad hoc basis. If you feel the need to discuss something that requires their non-presence, send me private e-mail and I'll figure something out. As this has basically never happened before, I'm not especially worried. All standing proxies are hereby invalidated. This is a vote-by-mail situation, and everyone is present on the mailing list. If you're going to be away from e-mail for the entire voting period and really need to proxy, please say so, but you must make a new proxy statement this year. Here's the agenda: 1) Roll call This is waived because the meeting is on the mailing list, which has been verified to have a valid e-mail address for all members. In lieu of roll call, I will be making a list at the end of all memebers who did not directly participate in the meeting, for use next year. 2) Reading of minutes Waived. Read them yourself at http://www.lojban.org/tiki/LLG%202004%20Annual%20Meeting%20Minutes The vote to accept those minutes will occur here. 3) Officer's reports 4) Committee reports 5) Election of new members 6) Removal of old members Members not attending, even by proxy, last year: Barton, Dave Burgess, Gary Daniel, Craig DeLong, Jordan Dyke, Gregory Lynch, Keith Miles-Lasseter, Alexandra O'Sullivan, Paul Francis Raizen, Adam Reed, Theodore Twery, David Vilva, Veijo Whitlock, Tommy Le Du, Yann 7) Election of the Board Currently, only the incumbents are running. I'd *really* like to see some new blood because, frankly, most of the current board isn't doing much of anything. So if you'd like to get involved, please speak up! 8) Old business I'm not aware of any. 9) New business The BPFK is a bit stagnant right now, and a large part of the reason is that only about 3 of the commissioners are really active. I would dearly love to see more active BPFK commissioners, but a pretty firm grasp of Lojban is definately a prerequisite. I see no reason to limit this to LLG members, so please speak up if you know someone outside of the LLG who could help! Votes to accept new members will be welcome here.
