Re: BOD Membership Requirements
Jimmy, I know that the BOD is an old-men club.
My comment was just in jest!

I think before we decide the criteria for entry into BoD we need more clarity about what the purpose of BoD is.
I assumed it was to have a place where we could exchange info and pics online with greater security. That includes might include comments about members at lower levels.
The more members we have in BoD the less security but the more entertaining (hopefully).
There is emphasis on candidates meeting existing BoD members but that was originally to help assess their reliability. Is it still?

Not too wide of the mark. It is a kind of Senate. There are a lot of senior members in BoD (either senior from length of membership in ISOC or in age) who don't post much in the way of trip reports anymore. I don't think this is a bad thing so long as they don't get too much out of touch. Being outside the fray can help them give a more objective opinion when needed. I know that I take a lot more notice when (say) ErikS makes one of his infrequent serious interventions than some active newer member who may be posting regular trip reports with pics.

Yes, he was. It could even be that there is the occasional bad apple in the US Senate?
