Last Meeting Follow-up

Appoint Roles

Due to the low number of applicants for the Board of Directors positions, there were fewer nominees then there were potential positions. The need for public elections was therefore bypassed.

Please see our previous post for the biographies of all the new and returning Directors.

We also say goodbye to our Interim Chair @bluefinstudios and Interim Directors @eonwarped and @upheaver. Their contributions will be missed.
