[HamWAN PSDR] director responsibilities

[Bart Kus]

I designed the director role into the constitution in such a way to 
remove as many obstacles as reasonable in allowing an active supporting 
member to accomplish the most that they can for HamWAN.  Fast voting 
periods, no need for quorum, discretionary spending without approval 
required up to a certain limit.  While not expressly written down, it's 
my hope that anyone holding such a position will take advantage of these 
provisions to move the project forward as quickly as they can.
