[Osmf-talk] You can still run IMO. 🙂 | Re: Continuity

[Rory McCann]

Hello fellow candidate!

IMO not attending (all) the board meetings doesn't disqualify you at 
all. You're still entitled to stand, and let the members decide. Not 
everyone _can_ listen in to both. "I was in a place with poor internet" 
is a totally legit excuse. 🙂 (likewise timezones, language, etc etc)
