<div dir="ltr">Thanks John. And great to see Alex and Adam putting their hands up already.<div>Seems reasonable to me for people to express intent for the inaugural board now, with official nominations for positions occurring later. I agree with the concern of missing potential candidates.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm also incredibly excited by what we can achieve as an entity with some structure and clarity. Keen on helping in some capacity so might discuss at GeobeersMEL tonight.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, 18 Dec 2018 at 13:06, adam steer <<a href="mailto:adam.d.steer@gmail.com">adam.d.steer@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Sounds good.<div><br></div><div>I’d be happy to join the board as a regular member; and/or nominate as chair or co-chair.
