Editorial board membership
If there are no objections, I am willing to serve on this editorial board! --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 00:04, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
 * You have my support! There are no bylaws yet for how board members are formally added, but it may be appropriate to wait for another "board vote" so you have a majority. Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 20:38, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
 * And mine! Adding you to the list now, welcome! --Felipe (discuss • contribs) 12:06, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
