Yes, let's please make sure this is on the agenda at the August 12
meeting. I encourage the new and continuing directors to discuss in
advance on board@ as to who wants which roles, so that the formal votes
during the meeting go smoothly and quickly.

I encourage the board to actually announce who the board members are.

Nominations closed on July 15th and the fact we didn't have an election
on July 17th implies we didn't get enough nominations to need an
election (confirmed on IRC). I don't see any reason that we wouldn't
then announce the new board on July 17th, but even in the worst case the
timeline stated results were to be announce yesterday (July 31st).

Hi Jonathan. You're correct in your analysis as we received exactly the
number of nominations as positions. I received the last confirmation of
acceptance yesterday so I will send out an announcement shortly.

Tim.
