OFFICIAL NOTICE: Personal Telco Project Annual Meeting

As stated in Article II, Section 5 of the Personal Telco Project
Bylaws[1]:

  "Members shall hold a meeting at least once each calendar year
  [...] for the purpose of electing the Board of Directors of the
  Corporation and transacting such other business as may be properly
  brought before the meeting.  The Board of Directors shall designate
  such date, time and place as it may choose for such meetings; [...]"

This year, as in the past, this meeting will coincide with the July
Monthly Meeting, on July 25th, 2007 at 6:30 p.m. at the Urban Grind
Coffee at 2214 NE Oregon St. in Portland, Oregon.

The agenda of this Annual meeting is to elect a new member of the
Board of Directors to replace Donald Park whose term is expiring.
Only members of Personal Telco are eligible to vote.  The list of
members is available online at:

  <http://wiki.personaltelco.net/index.cgi/VotingMembers>

If you believe that you should be on that list but are not, please
contact me as soon as possible.  Article II, Section 13 indicates that
deadline for membership is 10 business days prior to the delivery of
notice of the meeting, which must be 7 days prior to the meeting.
Working backwards from July 25, that appears to be July 3rd.

Members must either be present at the Annual Meeting, or appoint a
proxy (as specified in Article II, Section 12) who will be present.

Presently, there is one candidate for the Board position, Michael
Weinberg.  The proposed procedure for the election is as follows:

 a) The list of eligible voters will be read, those present in person
    or by proxy will acknowledge themselves;

 b) Unanimous consent will be asked of the eligible voters to elect
    the candidate to the Board of Directors;

 c) if no objections are heard, the candidate will be elected.  if
    anyone objects, we will have a secret ballot.

 d) when a candidate is elected, they will immediately assume the
    position on the Board of Directors.  If a quorum of the Board of
    Directors is then present, a majority of the Board of Directors
    will immediately elect one of their number to the office of President.

If any member would like to object or suggest changes to this
procedure, please let me know as soon as possible.
