+1 from me. I'll throw Matei's name into the hat for VP. He's done a great job and has stood out to me with his report filing and tenacity and would make an excellent chair.
Being a chair entails: 1. being the eyes and ears of the board on the project. 2. filing a monthly (first 3 months, then quarterly) board report similar to the incubator report. Not too bad. +1 for graduation from me binding when the VOTE comes. We need our mentors and IPMC members to chime in and we should be in time for February 2014 board meeting.
