[Ofa_boardplus] OFA Board Mtg Agenda 3/23

[Paul Grun]

There is a third topic as well, if we get to it, which is the process for nominating and voting for Officers.  Those motion requires the same modification to the ground rules, and hence is included here.  It also includes some formalities related to member meetings, which should be non-controversial, so if we get to it tomorrow, all the better.  All three topics are covered in detail in the slides distributed late Sunday night, meeting the 72 hour notice requirement.
