Re: [CODE4LIB] Formalizing Code4Lib?

2016-06-13 Thread Akerman, Laura
Would "finding a permanent fiduciary agent" call for some degree of organizational formalization? Wouldn't somebody or bodies have to "sign for" Code4Lib on this agreement with this agent, and wouldn't their role therefore have to be, to some degree, permanent? Sorry, but just wondering... La
