Do we even have an election procedure in place? I'm thinking in terms of having a plan to send out paper/email ballots, timeline for campaigning and voting, plan for avoiding fraud/verifying legitimacy of ballots, etc. <br>
<br>We've done the announcement bit, but it occurs to me that nobody really knows what to do from here. We definitely don't ever get enough members at a meeting to have a quorum. (And I think laws saying that even folks that aren't able to make it to a meeting should have the opportunity, although IANAL, so I couldn't say for sure.)<br>

It's kind of polite to have your name taken off the roles. Although we now have a process to drop people who disappear, it'll take 3 months, during which time the number needed for a quorum for legally mandated elections is skewed by that.<br>

When are our legally mandated elections? We've had an empty board seat for a while.<br><font color="#888888">
