Subject: CONSENSUS? [ga] DNSO General Assembly call to change seating
rule


Hi 
 Let us cut to the chase here.
Consider this a call to the list.

A: Is there a CONSENSUS on the following issue: 



1) The newly elected board members should take
   their seats before the general meeting, not after.


2) All non-elected members whose terms have been
   extended beyond their original time should immediately
   resign. 


Please reply with yes "I agree"  or "I don't agree"


Ken
