Mod note on 'Updated draft bylaws for MeFiCoFo'

mediareport: "Yeah posting the call for candidates on a Friday night wasn't ideal, which is why it is important that Brandon or one of the other mods follow up on this comment suggesting they'd be happy to add a link to a call for candidates to declare to the sidebar, banner and all of the subsites."

Links have been added to the banner and sidebar.

Here's some suggested verbiage for the posts:
Hi all,
Brief reminder that MetaFilter is a community run site, with a board of directors that are responsible for managing the site.

Currently we have a three member Board, and were looking at planning elections to vote in a new board. If you're interested in running for a seat on this new board, please declare your intentions in this MetaTalk thread.

We're still figuring exact details (like the new board will probably have more than 3 members) but for now we're looking to see how many people would be interested in running for a seat. So again, if you're interested, please declare in the above mentioned thread. This doesn't bind to do anything, just that you're interested.

Here's a few background links with recent discussions:
🗣 Discussion about the current and future bylaws

💬 Talk about how to run an election for new board members

How's that sound?
