Two items:

1) Status of Elders
2) Call for Volunteers for Foundation Directors

With regards to the status of the Elders organization, the remaining Elders
have agreed that it is superfluous with the Foundation and additionally has
been inactive for quite some time.  The Elders organization is therefore
dissolved.  We wish to thank all the latest and previous Elders for
whatever time they were able to give over the years, and of course their
valuable advice.

Secondly, the existing directors of the OpenAFS Foundation are putting out
a call to the OpenAFS community for volunteers who wish to join the board.
 With the non-profit documentation having been filed with the IRS, now is
an appropriate time to seek to extend the board.

The most important qualifications we are looking for are the available time
for participation, passion and interest in moving forward.  We're also
looking for people who would be able to improve our communications with the
community.

Volunteers should express their interest by sending a paragraph or two
about their interest and qualifications to foundation@openafs.org.  This
call for volunteers ends Sept 26.  Once candidates are discussed by the
board they will be put forward to the community for confirmation by general
acclimation.

Thank you!

Roman Mitz
Director, OpenAFS Foundation
