> 
> The Chair reported that she considered @wplug.org addresses to
> be necessary for members of the Board when communicating with
> others and that these should be role-based (e.g., chair at wplug.org
> for the Chair).  These would be updated to forward to the correct
> person after each election.  Beth Lynn Eicher moved that role-based
> aliases be created for the Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer,
> and Director-at-Large.  After debate, the motion was adopted.
> The Chair also noted that aliases have already been established
> for several committees and they should be made aware of this.
