Sounds good. Since it's not taking place on a mailing list, the meetings could 
be held in #wplug in public. And given that minutes must be recorded, someone 
would have to be chosen to record the session before session business takes 
place, and they would be responsible for posting the session to wplug-board.

Good idea. In fact, you could start the list by automatically subscribing the 
proposed board members (everyone on your proposed list except me and Brian 
Sammon) and have them agree or decline to join the Board.

Then, outstanding business would be bringing on new members and amending the 
bylaws to allow discussions on the -plan list, plus anything else that would 
arise.

Does this sound alright?
