don't off the top of my head recall if that's<br>
in the bylaws or part of the standing rules (things specified in
the standing rules<br>
are much easier to change.)<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Martijn (and other board members),
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can you talk about the responsibilities of the board as
well as the time commitment that is expected? That would be
helpful for people who are considering running.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And the board is limited at 5 members, is that correct?</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here's a brief update from the Chapter Board on the
upcoming elections. As you know, the board is elected on
a one year mandate. Our term ends on October 13 of this
year. This is still a little while away, but we'd like
all of you to think about the next year of the OSM US
Chapter, and who should be on the board to represent
you. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Perhaps you are thinking of yourself? You should be!
Being on the board does not require superhero skills,
just a dedication to OpenStreetMap in the United States
and a determination to put your ideas into action. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you want to nominate yourself for a position on
the board, head over to <a moz-do-not-send="true"

target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Foundation/Local_Chapters/United_States/Elections/2013</a>
and add yourself. It helps a lot if you write a brief
manifesto, outlining why you want to be on the board and
what you would aim to accomplish. This will help voters
make an informed choice. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have more voting members than ever before (thanks
in part to the membership drives around the previous
SOTM US conferences) so the upcoming elections should be
interesting and important!</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>We will continue to follow up with more details about
the elections as they emerge. In the mean time, don't
hesitate to voice your questions or concerns here or at
