Chris,

We can always decide something by email, but it takes all directors to
explicitly agree to pass a valid board motion this way.  That isn't always
easy to get done quickly, but feel free to ammend the "process" to indicate
that possibility if you want.

If the matter was urgent we might also accelerate having a meeting.  I
don't mind having more frequent meetings, but I don't want to try to
assemble a quorum without meaningful work that needs to be accomplished.

Best regards,
