Currently we don't have an advisory board as we didn't have access to the documents that declared such. However, I think it's within the power of the PLUG president to appoint committees - and an advisory board can be created whose membership would comprise of former PLUG board members until such time that such body can be formalized via constitutional amendments.

The membership forms (dead tree edition) are with Ian afaik. Hopefully when the board reconvenes early next year we could talk about how would we be using the forms :) There are still a couple of issues that would need to be resolved - one is the forming of a membership committee to be comprised of PLUGgers who'd be evaluating applicants seeking membership. > So, is there an advisory board?

I think that already looms with the power vested to the president of PLUG if I'm reading the constitution right. Then again, IANAL. > Now that we're discussing all these, maybe you can inform us as to who > the board members are, what are the plans for the coming year, how many > members there are, how many we are in this mailing list... I guess this > is a way to promote the membership. I wasn't appointed secretary until Saturday so I wasn't able to post the proceedings of the GA of 9 October 2004.... but anyway... The current composition of the PLUG board was formed during the GA of 9 Oct 2004 held at Asia Pacific College. Currently the board is comprised of the following individuals: Marvin Pascual Ian Sison Diosdado Calmada Ariz Jacinto Christian Masancay Paolo Falcone Eric Pareja Lito Lampitoc Mike Liguit Sherwin Daganato QSR is serving as the secretariat for this fiscal year. We've yet to ascertain how many are the current members - we'd need the confirmation of those who were past members of PLUG (having paid the dues and ID fees in the past prior to the formation of the current board). To confirm, please email Marvin Pascual or Ian Sison.
