As a former board member (for several years), I have to chime in and say
that Enno is right. AUUG isn't just dead, it has been for a while. Its a
factor of not enough members, not enough conference attendees, but worst
of all, not enough volunteers.

What's the point of an organization with an incomplete committee, hardly
any members, no events, and no publications? Oh, and basically no
traffic on its mailing lists.

I agree its sad, but that doesn't change reality. It seems that with a
membership in the double digits, it wont be too hard to get a quorum to
vote in favor of sending out a disillusion vote.

(I do think the letter of the constitution needs to be followed on this
matter).
