<div dir="ltr"><br><div>Hi Nick,</div><div> </div><div>The ALU still exists, and I am still a board member, although not an officer. Rusty is continuing to keep the offiicial Corporation documents up to date with the state of Virginia, etc. </div><div><br></div><div>The CLF had offered several months ago to provide hosting services for the ALU web properties (at reasonable out-of-pocket cost), but the ALU has yet to follow up with a specific green light to do that or content to host. </div><div><br></div><div>Robert Smith, current official ALU president, had to cancel the last several scheduled monthly ALU meetings due to a busy travel schedule (a couple times he was on airplanes at the time of the meetings). Last week, he had to cancel our meeting again, and also sent a note inviting someone else to take over the role of president. He didn't officially resign, but acknowledged the fact that his several attempts to get the ball rolling on the next ILC have not gotten much traction. If you'd like, I can ask Robert to forward that note to this list. </div><div><br></div><div>So that's what I know right now. </div><div><br></div><div>So far I haven't seen any responses to his email on the ALU lists (which I think are manually maintained as CC lists right now). I'm not sure what the next steps should be or by whom, but at least I wanted to pass on the small amount of news which I know. </div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div> Dave</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 11, 2017 at 4:28 PM, Nick Levine <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nick@nicklevine.org" target="_blank">nick@nicklevine.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Writing to who @<a href="http://alu.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">alu.org</a>?<br>
