[Grassroots-l] Board of Directors bylaws

[Mel Chua]

SJ,

You mentioned that you might be able to point us towards the Foundation 
board's bylaws (which should be public somewhere, right? I spent 15 
minutes on Google and couldn't find them, but IANAL so I don't know very 
much about these things.) I'm interested particularly in the procedures 
that the board has for approving new seats and members.

I imagine folks on the grassroots list would be quite interested in 
reading this as well, so I've cc'd them in case someone can dig these 
things up faster than either of us can find it. :) (Also, if someone 
finds these first, please forward.)

I'm pretty psyched to continue the discussion Yama started, and to come 
up with a good mechanism for choosing a community member to sit on the 
board for set terms*.

Thanks tremendously!

PS: As part of my "if you spend time on this conversation, spend at 
least an equivalent amount of time Making Something for OLPC that isn't 
related to this conversation" pledge, I just cleared out some RT tickets 
equivalent to the length of time I spent typing out this email. ;)
