While the process of [[New Bylaws Project|bylaws revision]] was getting under way, a few resignations from the previous [[Board of Directors]] caused the board to drop below its minimum number of members, so an interim board was pulled together to help shepherd us through the bylaws re-drafting process (and deal with any regular board related matters). While the interim board is working under the [[Free Geek Bylaws|current bylaws]], it is expected that they will all offer their resignations afer a few months when a new ongoing board will be elected using procedures from the new bylaws.
