Imminent Death of BayLISA / July Board Meeting Invitation

> 	so maybe its time to let new board people in

"Let"?  Historically, we've had trouble finding enough candidates in 
November to make it a real election, or sometimes to fill up seven seats at 
all.  Anyone can run (we figured out that the bylaws don't require you to 
be a member to win, only to vote :-), and anyone can volunteer to be on the 
election nominating committee, or help out organizing.

Let's see a candidate's statement!  November isn't that far away, and the 
sooner we get a statement, the sooner there's some grist for a web page 
about this.  (Oh.  Gee.  I guess I should come up with such a statement 
myself.  I was thinking about running for board, but recusing myself from 
any office -- elected by the new board, ya know -- for distance reasons. 
If people think I've had enough fun directing this and should go away, 
their votes will be counted!)

Concur.  All that about electronic media is, if not wrong, at least not to 
the point here.  I went to BayLISA meetings to get _away_ from my computer 
for a few hours.
