The thing is, we need organization, as that is what the user group has indicated. At the rate we’re going, we cannot wait another year to figure out who is going to do what, and if we have a basic structure, we’re better off than if we had none at all. I left the elections to the end so that we could ensure that we had a framework down before we elected anyone else. We cannot afford to just be a name any longer, and if we have the support, I see no reason why we can’t elect people to formal positions so that we can look like we’re serious to the Affiliations Committee.

This is way too soon for that. First we decide where we want to go as an organization, then we build a policy framework around that, and finally when both of those things are done, then we can elect a board. The meeting on Saturday will be an excellent platform for resolving the question of where we want to go as an organization, and from there we can probably build a set of Google Docs and flush out some framework documents. Hopefully that will be done by the end of the summer and we can hold some sort of event once the non-local based students are back in, to ratify the framework and elect a board.
