Section 6.5 of the [[ByLaws]] states that the newly-elected Board takes office either when the election meeting adjourns, or when the slate of officers is announced to the membership, whichever is later.  Ideally, all of the newly-elected Board members (or at least a majority of them) will be present at the election meeting.  In this case, they can meet privately for a few minutes during the meeting to decide who will occupy which office.  While a consensus decision is ideal, a majority vote is all that is necessary.  The slate of officers decided on can then be announced at the election meeting.  Once the election meeting adjourns, the new Board takes office and the old Board no longer has any power or responsibility (other than turning over records/assets to the new officers in an orderly fashion).

Should the newly-elected Board not reach/announce a decision during the election meeting, it will need to meet at a later time ("promptly").  This can happen at the next scheduled Board meeting as described below, or at some other time.  Once a new slate of officers is decided on by majority vote, it must be announced to the membership.  This can happen by e-mail to the wplug-members list, or in person at a membership meeting (GUM).  The new Board takes office immediately when the announcement is made.
