[VOTE] Create a Legal Affairs Committee

[David Recordon]

I'd like to ask the board to please vote on the resolution below to
create the "Legal Affairs Committee". We will not be assigning a
chair at this point, but rather letting the committee self organize
though Eran has certainly already emerged as a leader. I reccomend
that we name the committee as proposed so that we don't need a
plethora of committees to handle various aspects of the legal work
that will go into OWF.

Please respond to this +1 or -1 so that we can get rolling.
