Um. Perhaps this is a quibble but, no we no longer have a president as
a member of the board, we have a chairman. This change was made soon
after the last election and Chris took on that role. A quote from the
minutes of the IRC meeting, December 3, 2005
"...
Much discussion about whether the board needs a chairman (mostly
to direct IRC meetings).
"Motion by JMK:
that we elect a chairman
Second by Ray
Votes:
Ray, Alex, Jon: AYE
JMK, Cradek: abstain
"Nominations for Chairman: Ray, JMK, Cradek
Ray declined
Cradek was elected by a 3-to-2 margin."

This was a change and it is reflected in the bylaws.
"The new board has conferred and decided to have a 'chairperson'
rather than a 'president'.
"It was further decided that Chris Radek will be the
chairperson."

The remainder of John's post is correct that the board members are now
considered equal, the chair presides and applies order to meetings.
