I can understand that, though the feeling I get from the other SIGs is
mostly apathy. How many of them offered officers to be on the board?

Well I'm sure Josh will have no problem taking the money, but I see no
reason to move the server. And as far as SDCS owning, having donated
or otherwise running on another server, that makes absolutely no
sense. They only have a few static pages.
If people are really concerned with the feelings of the other SIGs
then we need to have another election. Since there was no election
this year, except for a few open seats, it's past due.
