Forwarding this on to the Community Council as they are the actual owners of ~techboard in Launchpad. It's not clear to me if the CC can extend the TB's terms without Mark, but hopefully they can help clear this up.
With the TB all expiring at once and the CC all up for election shortly, I think there might be a good case to be made for staggering terms to these bodies to prevent this from happening in the future and to maintain institutional memory in the case of a large turnover on either body. But that's a conversation for some other time I suppose...
