representation, I am making a motion that we do establish an International Liaison to the EC. If there is a second, I will put this out to board vote via our voting tool once it’s up and running along with Nat’s motions for the specs process improvements.
If the motion is carried I’d suggest we use the approach that Mike Jones suggested for the recent officer elections and see if we can come to consensus as a board on who the international representative should be and approve by consent vs. doing a specific
board vote.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
