Actually BOD members such as Art have had email access in the past.
And with DECUSERVE getting on the nets will automtically have it ing
the future.

Fact is that volunteer organizations have this tremendous
organizational inertia and really compressed effective working time.
So things are slow until someone takes a project and runs with it.
Then you get such triumphs as "DECUS UUCP"/VMSnet.  LUGs are a fine
channel to leadership.  Being at smposia regularly does correlate well
with success as a BOD member because of the connetions and need to
attend regularly as a member.   If its a problem for someone who wants
to run frankly, member nominated rather than LDEC nominated candidates
are still an option.  I'll sign almost anyone's pettion to  run.

Frankly I expect LDEC will take that comment to heart.    Also I
hat eto say it but USPS works preety well too.
