[IAEP] Board Status

[Gonzalo Odiard]

There are two different  problems:

Why people don't want or don't care be a candidate?
Right now, there are only one candidate [1], not enough to fill the seats
we need change.

The second point is related to what you say about your proposal.

Reading again the log from 2014-10-07 [2]
the last action proposed was contact you with Luke.
I think Walter couldn't contact Luke, and nothing moved after that,
in part because we was dumped with GCI work.

I don't see newer logs/minutes here [3],
but the links to latest meetings are here:
