I think we also need to be careful here. Ultimately the Trustees are |
| 8 |
also volunteers. |

I think we can be objective about the issues (the IRS doesn't care if |
| 11 |
we're volunteers, though our small size probably also means we're not |
| 12 |
going to be a big priority for them). However, we need to keep in |
| 13 |
mind the realities of the situation when we talk about solutions/etc. |

Having a really strong leader on its own isn't going to cause the |
| 16 |
books to get taken care of. Historically, it has also been difficult |
| 17 |
enough just getting people to populate all the Trustee slots (we've |
| 18 |
managed to keep them full for a number of years now, but this was not |
| 19 |
always the case in the past). |

Still, adding further responsibilities probably won't help. We may |
| 22 |
really need to rethink our metastructure if we think we can't sustain |
| 23 |
the one we have. Maybe we need to have a governance board that spends |
| 24 |
less time trying to do bookkeeping, etc. |
