Sorry to see Paul leave! Same here. This obviously leaves a vacancy on the board between now and the next AGM, which we would like to fill if a suitable candidate can be found. Who would be interested in joining the Board until the next AGM (24 April)?

(I would but I think people would choke if I put myself forward as a deletionist.) Had they made a more general request I might have done, but I too can't really describe myself as a deletionist, even in a very loose sense.

Hmm, that depends when you expect the AGM to be. We cant hold the AGM until at least 21 days after the bank account is opened and they haven't even asked us for proof of ID yet. With holidays, that could easily drag on into the new year. We'll do it as quickly as possible of course, but I personally wouldn't be surprised if the AGM was around mid February. I was hoping late January. If nothing goes wrong with the bank account, it's perfectly believable that it could be open by the end of the year, making late January an option for the AGM. As I said when this issue came up in one of the board meeting, we can't just call the AGM the day after we get a bank account. There need to be time for people to join after the bank account, and before the notice, so that they can be a member and decide/time to run for the board, which need members to be nominated in writing.
