Dear Amy,

As one of the members of the executive, you can call for elections. As I have said before, I'm willing to contribute in any way I can.

If you don't want to call for elections, then the remaining members of the executive can take action by invoking article 3.1 of the bylaws:


Any exceptions, accommodations, or alternative arrangements shall be decided by a majority vote of the executive and reported as quickly as possible the membership. Where practical, such exceptions, accommodations, or alternative arrangements shall also be made available to all other members.

I'm sure that people will volunteer if you ask. I have already offered, but there might be other interested parties. 

As Dan already said, we are ready to talk about governance issues in September, if nothing has been resolved before then.

In the meantime, you can count on my support with any decisions you and other members of the executive make.


BB

HI all,

I wanted to let you all know the status of the executive committee. I have sent several emails to the executive members who are rotating off and the current members requesting help in running elections. I’ve heard a response from one current person and one former. The former folks are off and have no responsibility. There doesn’t seem to be interest from the executive committee as currently formed to move forward with voting. 

I do not think that the organization can move ahead with only one or two people willing to work for it. At this point I am not sure of how to proceed, but I wanted to let the membership know that I have tried to constitute an ec (currently there is no chair, so no one is really in charge), but there is not enough response to move ahead.
