ClintonEbadi - Willing to serve one more term, although ideally not as an officer, so that we can work on moving our bank account to a bank or credit union that works better for an entirely online organization. It may also be time to evaluate reducing the board from five to three members since the reasons for expanding the board from three to five members don't seem to exist anymore (membership was pushing 200 at the time and we had no shortage of candidates, whereas now getting even the current board to volunteer for another term is difficult).
StephenMichel - I've been doing my part as Treasurer to make sure payments keep getting processed this year. I'm happy to keep doing that.
RobinTempleton - I'd be happy to serve as a board member again. My priorities are the sustainability of the organization and acting in according with cooperative and Free Software values. (If I'm chosen as secretary again, there's server-side and documentation work remaining to make things easier for the next secretary too.)
