New Business
1) (Geoff) Proposal on board absenteeism.
Every 3 months, the secretary will assemble a list of directors who have been absent for more than half the meetings in the previous 3 months. We will then have a board vote on replacing the members on the list. Advance notification of absences and arranging for a substitute will be considered as mitigating factors. The default slate of replacements will the set of candidates from the last board election who received the most votes but were not elected to the board, but the current board may alter this set of replacements by majority vote.
2) (Robert) Fix date for physical board meeting due the conference
Last year we decided that we will have an annual meeting of the board members due the conference. Now the conference date is fix, so we should fix the meeting date also.
