[sudo-discuss] [consensus] Nominations for Board of Directors

[Eddan Katz]

So by my count, the following summarizes the status of the Board nominations. Please correct any errors I've made.
--
Confirmed
Max (notconfusing)
Jenny (tunabananas)

Nominated
Marc (marcjc)
Matt (mattsenate)
Marina (mk30)
J.C. (r33lmm)
Vicky (ykciv)
Liberty (thattechgirl)

Respectfully Decline
Kare (kkr)
Jordan (yardena)
------

Apparently, the average size of a non-profit board is 16 people, and the median is 15. 
I don't know anyone's handle, but I also wanted to nominate the following people who have also shown the commitment that I think would make for a good Sudo Board member:

Ryan Bethencourt
Anthony di Franco
Johanna Faust
Hol Gaskill
Leonid Kozukh
Anca Mosoiu
Naomi Most
Romy Snowyla

>> Sudo Room should not sacrifice its foundational values so as to be taken seriously by traditional power structures. This is part and parcel of being a vessel of social change. Noisebridge has an ad hoc and ever-changing do-ocracy of leaders, as does Sudo. The inscription of a Board merely makes static what is in actuality a dynamic aspect of the community, hence its role (in the vein of honesty and radical transparency) is as merely an on-paper minimum satisfactory requirement for bureaucratic processes. Come to any meeting of Noisebridge or Sudo and it will be readily apparent who's currently taking on leadership roles.
