(Note that I added under bars for emphasis.) Because I have little time nor interest to join all the social media groups. Because I would think the board has access to information that I do not. Because I would think that this would be all about transparency of the board. I enjoy listening to our conference videos. They are thought provoking. I try to attend the state of the map every year but some other concern prevents my attendance. It is not like I am saying, "not my job". I asked permission from the US board via the board's email address. I did not want to step on someones toes if a person on the 2016 organizing committee already called dibs for the job. I'd be happy to take on the job of organizing the You Tube and Vimeo video channels. I love this media. I am perfect for the job. You create 'em. I'll arrange 'em. However, that would require security access and trust that may not be appropriate under this circumstances. I am just discussing one part of fostering awarenes. Hence my thoughts about one position on the board to help manage the load of all communications.
