This is a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a new organization that is already garnering national attention. It's also a chance to get involved with an organization that is open to new ideas and original thinking, and is committed to social responsibility and democracy.
Board members are expected to:
1) Visit the website regularly and generally remain aware of the activity on the site (members, type of material posted, etc) whether or not you post material or comments there. Promote the site to personal contacts, friends, business contacts, and act as a representative of the site whenever possible.
2) Check email regularly (absolute minimum once or twice a week, ideally at least once a day). Be comfortable using the computer for day-to-day communication and for monthly board meetings via IRC.
3) Make an effort to attend meetings, respond to email messages from other board members, and generally participate in a collective decision-making process.
4) Contribute special skills to the running of the organization--e.g. financial, fundraising, managing, technical, etc. In some cases, handle a specific responsibility (such as treasurer, etc).
5) Contribute ideas for development of the site and organization.
6) Help recruit other board members and talented volunteers to the site.
