Last night I talked with Kasinja. I'm afraid I promised to work on some stuff and then did other stuff tonight.

Linda's point is a good one. But I understand that it takes a bit of practice to get in the habit of collaborating online.

Kasinja asked me if I had read the constitution the organization submitted. I had--rather quickly. But I don't have a good legal mind and didn't have any specific suggestions. Something I did mention to him is that I saw the Board was basically a management structure internal to the organization. I suggested that it would be good to have a Board of Advisers. Kasinja thought so too and suggested I head one up. But I had in mind a Board local and in country.

I know that it is a bit of a pain to do that because in order to have a meeting there is money involved, for refreshments and stuff like that. But still it seems a good idea to have people involved in education, law, business management, professional organizations, etc. It's important to have some who can offer outside advice and also guide the organization to resources and connections which can help the organization thrive.

So what is a good strategy for forming a Board of Advisers? How can Space plan and organize a good Board? Any suggestions?
