Well, if that's what the majority of posters want, that's what we should do, I think.
Maybe with the following proviso: we could email everyone who registers/gets invited telling them that the board is still in the process of finalising their governance issues, and therefore not completely functional, and that board77.com will open eventually, as a completely open board with no invites etc. That way, they would have the option to wait and register on the open board once it's up and running.
