On the next board meeting 2017-11-12 decisions shall be taken regarding the members of the board for the period 2018/19 as well as regarding the mandatory officers in accordance to Californian law.

!!Directors

Until now the present directors gave the following feedback:

~~#900:*Kwesi wants to resign~~
~~#096:*Anton wants to continue~~
~~#096:*Lars wants to continue~~
~~#096:*Robert wants to continue~~
~~#096:*Diana wants to continue~~
~~#096:*Kora wants to continue~~

Regarding the quorum for the meetings an odd number of directors is preferred - 5 or 7 directors might be optimal for IMMA at the moment.

!!Officers

In accordance to Californian law the mandatory officers are Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and secretary. Beside that IMMA's bylaws include the option to elect a Chairman of the Board presiding at all meetings. The Chairman might get other duties like for example representing the organization. 

To avoid conflicts of interests the best solution for a non profit organization is probably to separate the governing board with voluntary directors from the operating staff members (officers) getting paid.

Regarding my personal experiences from the last 9 months IMMA needs alltogether at least 10 working hours per week to be administrated in a professional way - including communication with members and authorities, IT maintenance and updates as well as accounting as the main necessary tasks.
