Should any new state committee members be added, then I will of course
post what the new quorum requirements are and who the new committee
members are.  Once credentialing ends, quorum will be fixed.

On May 5th, Dan posted an email to all State Committee members
directly entitiled "Statecom Reps and Adcom Members Lists" that
contained a PDF document with the list of Administrative and State
Committee members.  Dona resigned, so you can remove her from the
listing.

I would love it if someone who is familiar with the web site would be
willing to post the contact info for all of the State Committee
members to the web site.  If no one steps forward, then I will
volunteer to do it.

We all have had since the previous State Committee meeting to recruit
new representatives to the State Committee.  We can extend the time to
credential people interested in being State Committee members, but as
Merelice pointed out at the Administrative Committee meeting on
Monday, we don't have a lot of time.

So say we all (aka Amen for those who don't watch the reimagined
Battlestar Galactica tv show :-).
