SCN: RE: Now what?

[jmabel]

I disagree. A Board doesn't need to start with a strong consensus. It just needs
to start with a willingness to work together and hash things out, including a
willingness idividual not to get everything they want if they get a good bit of
what they want. I'd actually be very doubtful that anyone who thinks they know
exactly what needs to happen now would be a good person to be on the Board. What
we need are a group of competent people willing to work together, first to work
out how to keep things running on an interim basis, then to work out where to go
from here to get SCN out of mere 'maintenance mode'.

As I understand it, though, the current Board are the only ones who can take the
next steps:
1) Move forward on registration with the State so the group is legally
constituted.
2) Either express their willingness to appoint an interim board and then resign,
themselves (with the caveat that I'd like to see one member stay a while for
continuity of memory).

At that point, a new Board can either hand over the assets appropriately to a
successor organization or set a direction, fundraise, rebuild a membership
organization, hold a general meeting an elections, etc.
