Insufficient membership

[Changaco]

The number of codirectors of the Liberapay nonprofit has dwindled back to only two (as a result of #49, #53 and #54). This is problematic because two is the legal minimum and because it can make some things more difficult (see #38).

Please post a comment if you would be willing to join the board.

@Changaco Are you still looking for members to join the board? Are there any specific requirements?

[Changaco]

@louis77 This issue is still current, but I'm not sure it would be a good idea to add only one new member.

Any new member must:

• read and agree to the bylaws and rules of procedure;
• attest that they don't have any conflict of interest, per article 7 of the bylaws;
• understand that I will have to share some of their personal information with the French administration (name, nationality, profession, postal address), to be provided via the Identity page;
• understand that they may have to prove their identity to any bank that holds Liberapay's own funds, especially if the board doesn't have enough members to avoid this;
• understand that being a co-director makes one co-responsible for the actions of the association under French law, including unlimited financial liability.

@Changaco No issues here. I care about Liberapay and don't want it to cease because of a lack of people who want to take legal responsibility. So whenever you think is the right moment, let me know.

To better understand what is expected of a board director:

• How many hours per week do you think it requires to be an engaged member (being absent is not an option, considering the liability)?
• Where are finances and anual reports mentioned in Article 6? I saw the Yearly reports, are these it? Are there any activity reports?

I'm back to world of 'job-seeker' a while ago (AKA, I no longer work for Government (#53)) and thus I'm free to join the org once again, if you still need more seats.
