@drjwbaker November?

[svmelton]

My apologies, all—I'll be in another meeting at this time.

[drjwbaker]

@drjwbaker November?

Sorry, brain fade. December.

[spapastamkou]

I was only afraid I had missed something bcz of my brain:-) I'll be there

[arojascastro]

Should I attend?

[drjwbaker]

@arojascastro Not this one. We agreed that that Managing Editors would represent each publication on the Board of Directors (2019-10-03_ProgHistLtd-BoD.docx). As a Member of ProgHist Ltd, you get to vote at the Annual General Meeting #1438 (comment) (and remember, we've set this up so that the Editorial Board - the Members - can always outvote the Board of Directors)

[drjwbaker]

My apologies, all—I'll be in another meeting at this time.

Do you want to send a member of the EN team in your place? Our Articles of Association allow for it.

Oki doki! Just to confirm if I have to apologize or not

That would be great! Is anyone else from @programminghistorian/english-team available to attend at that time?

[rivaquiroga]

Sorry, I won't be able to attend this time. I'm teaching on Thursdays morning. Does anyone from the @programminghistorian/spanish-team want to attend to represent the team?

[jenniferisasi]

Unfortunately, I cannot represent the ES team this time as I’ll be attending a DH institute.

[mdlincoln]

@drjwbaker I believe I am on the board of directors as well...? or was it another group for which @acrymble sent a formal invite to me?
