[board] Meeting Format and Proposed Board Meeting Schedule

[Tom Pillsbury]

Justin:
Im fine with the proposed regular meeting format you proposed. As for a
Board meeting, I can try and make a second meeting each month, but I also
like the idea of the Board meeting being via Zoom. Much less of a time
commitment for me, who lives an hour away from San Rafael, San Anselmo,
etc. I think it is less important the Board meets in person.
Thanks,
Tom
