[Eg-oversight-board] Evergreen corporate by-laws change requests

[Mike Rylander]

I'm sending this again, because the address of the board list was
broken the first time...

Hi Donna, thank you for the ping.

Oversight Board, what say you? Have you had a chance to look at the
draft, and if so, are you comfortable to proceed?  If you have any
questions or concerns, please do reply here (or, if you are more
comfortable doing so, to me privately)!

I'll start it of by saying that I believe, to the degree that MO law
allows, it does for us what we want. I am in favor of proceeding with
this draft.

Thanks, all!
