[extropy-chat] Another Extropian for the Board of the WorldTranshumanist Association?

[Giu1i0 Pri5c0]

As another current WTA Board member who (tries to) contribute to both organizations, I also wish to encourage motivated people to run for a seat on the WTA Board.
Reading between the lines of Jose's note (please Jose correct me if I am wrong), I sense a feeling that the WTA is not "global" and "inclusive" enough.
In some sense this is correct: for example racists and holy warriors of all sorts are just not welcome in the WTA. But barring such extremes, I believe all WTA voting members who wish to support the WTA with hard work, rationality and common sense, and who wish to do their best to work productively with other transhumanists who do not share precisely the same political or philosophical persuasion, are welcome to run for the Board.
