As indicated in Florence's response, this relates to a general 
announcement that should be coming out within the next day. It involves 
the election and the structure of the board as well, so it's a little 
more involved than just a simple answer about the volunteer council. But 
we can give you a preliminary response on that, I'll send that next in a 
new thread.

I regret the delay, our first order of business was getting the 
treasurer and audit committee set up. Incidentally, for me it 
illustrates very well the value of meeting in person when feasible. I'd 
say we dealt with 95% of this during the three days of the board meeting 
in San Francisco; by contrast, it's taken nearly three weeks of 
back-and-forth online to wrap up loose ends and put together the 
remaining 5%. Also, my appreciation goes to the staff for their 
assistance in acting on the output of the meeting.
