I arrived late at the presentation of enhancements to BASH, but I may have
the answer.

I was told a long time ago that T.L.U.G. is actually two different
organizations: one, as a club, and the other, as a legally-incorporated
nonprofit corporation, with Mr. Clive Apps as the President.

Legally, the Board of Directors is required to announce a vote to all
members of the corporation, whenever an executive, or Board member is no
longer able to perform his/her duties.

Mr. Clive Apps is of limited ability to carry out his Presidential duties,
so legally the Board of Directors is required to meet, to have a vote for
the new President of the corporation.

Actually, this vote is long overdue.

Any member of the club "T.L.U.G." is permitted to attend meetings, but only
members of the nonprofit corporation "T.L.U.G." are permitted to vote for
the new President.

The T.L.U.G. corporation must inform all members of the circumstances of
the vote, but does not need to inform people who are only club members,
because they would be unable to vote anyway.

To get more information, contact anyone who is on the Board of Directors of
the corporation.

To identify people on the Board of Directors, it would probably be a good
idea to start by asking the various people who run the club. I expect that
they have dealt with someone on the Executive, or on the Board, or someone
delegated to either, or reporting to either.

I imagine the following as possibilities:

|   Herb Richter <hgr-FjoMob2a1F7QT0dZR+AlfA at public.gmane.org>
|   Richter Equipment, Markham, Ontario
|   http://PartsAndService.com
|   http://PartsAndService.ca

|   Drew Sullivan drew-lxSQFCZeNF4 at public.gmane.org
|   http://tlug.ss.org

Note that all this may be wrong. I can be totally off base.
