FWIW, its supposed to be until voting is done, which should be 7 votes in total. Last year, we didn't wait for all 7 to come in because there was some urgency due to the time scales, but it's always better to make sure that there is enough time for everyone to have a chance to vote. The board voted on everything where the Foundation was involved (so everything signed on behalf of the Foundation).
Please send paperwork to the board in batches (maybe once per week for the moment and increase frequency as time becomes more of an issue?).

Should be fine either way. CCing the local team so that they can volunteer someone to work with you.
