[Board] New board, new roles

[Jachym Cepicky]

Hi,

looking one more time at the Secretary's duties, looks feasible. Only
doubt I would have (thinking about taking over the secretary job) would
be the franchise tax and filing annual report job and British Columbia
extra-provincial society annual report. I'm usually at bleeding edge of
my administration skills, doing something like this in nature-born
language. Wondering, how difficult this is in U.S.A?

> Please note that you should probably nominate a new Secretary asap.
> Michael kindly confirmed that he will follow up tagging Charter

> first where the "inactive status" regulation finally comes into action.
> 
> For next year we highly recommend to switch to electronic elections.

> around 200 individual mails and more than 100 Wiki and web site edits.
