Interested in Becoming a Director of the RIOC Board?

I just saw this notice posted on the RIOC web site announcing a meeting for those interested in becoming potential members of the RIOC Board of Directors. The meeting is to be held today at 5 PM at RIOC HQ.
I could be wrong about this and if so I will correct it but I have not seen any other mention of this meeting at all. Why such short notice for such an important issue and why schedule the meeting on a late Thurday afternoon just prior to the Labor Day Weekend?
