What someone said before (correct me if I'm wrong) is that we need an
interim board to even file the paperwork, and that this board would
just immediately appoint the elected board as soon as we have
elections. I also remember someone saying that we couldn't have
elections that are legally binding in any way until _after_ we've
incorporated and adopted bylaws.
