Right.  The holdups are:

  * Does the membership elect the SC?  (Mary and Karen voice no,
    everyone else thinks yes.  We need to have an election committee
    if we do this.)
  * Who votes on issues (I think we've resolved it - the SC)
  * Terms for the SC (I think we've got a consensus of 2-year terms)
  * Should treasurer be bonded?   How much?
  * Where to incorporate (decided - Mass)

I would like to have all these worked out for when Bob comes back, so he
can get right to work without having to wait for us.

Does anyone have any other concerns they'd like to raise on these issues?
I would like to take it to the SC for a straw vote that will allow Bob to
proceed.
