They are Drew - president, Seneca - secretary, Chris - treasurer. I believe Herb has a title I can't remember at the moment; and finally leaders - those are all those people that do stuff for the club. I'm one of those at the moment, Joe, Leah, Colin are the others without a title that show up regularly. Colin at the moment is handling the Real World Linux stuff. There are a few people that I believe would be called leaders but never show up to the meetings.

Thanks Bill.  If the board could clarify this last bit for me then
I'll be content:

#1 - If the exec meetings are still open enough for me to return after
several months hiatus, I would really like to do so...  The single
most valuable thing I can see for me as a member to provide to GTALUG,
would be in interfacing with the CSIA (see below) - but I would like
it to be "officially" recognized.

#2 - I posted an item recently under the subject line "CSIA -- an
invitation from CIPPIC, EFF, and Bob Young (fwd)" but have heard
nothing as yet.  If the board/executive is interested, I'm prepared to
present my arguments at the next executive meeting.

I had wanted to run for the board in September, but I couldn't commit
the time and effort such a position deserves.  On top of that, I
didn't really expect many votes since, by far, the bulk of the 1000+
members on this list really don't know much about me, so why would
they want to vote for me?  I'd be (really) happy at this point with a
non-board, but productive position, within the incorporated "Greater
Toronto Area Linux Users Group Organization".
