Again, you would expect the nominee to take the time difference into
consideration in deciding whether he wants to run. For me, an 8:00 am
time for a meeting would not work, but a midnight time is definitely
more manageable :)
My point is it's the nominee's call to make, not the board's. Of
course, a responsible person would decline the nomination if the time
did not work for him.

cmon, nominations close on saturday, there are seven nominees for four
slots..surely a couple of more people want to run so there can at least be
twice as many nominees as there are open seats

(I'm hoping C. S. McGee will consent to to her nomination.)

(Me too, since I nominated her.)
Deadlines:
November 15: Last day to place names into nomination.
November 30: Last day for a nominee to accept (and acquire
membership status, if they're not already a member).

November 15 has passed, so no new names may be placed in nomination.
Any nominee who has not yet accepted has through November 30 to do so.
I've emailed cmcgee, tod, polygon, krj, and srw alerting them to this.

Maybe we should have another item for allegations against running
members?

A new item for discussion by and about the candidates would be
very reasonable.

I would like to thank Mary for nominating me, but my current level of
time investment in Grex is such that it cannot be increased. I have
served on the board before, and it was both an honor and a good
experience, but right now I think I am more valuable as a staff member,
and cannot afford to do both. Therefore, I must decline.

Thanks to whomever for nominating me. I will have to think about this.
What night are the meetings held?

A night that is convenient for the Directors, of course. ;)
Scheduling the meetings sometimes seems to be the President's major
headache. :)

Typically board meetings are held on whatever weeknight looks best
for all members, so it varies from month to month. I suppose
if the calendar got really tight we could even look to
weekend days or (shudder) evenings. Please consider giving this
a try, Larry.

polygon also has said he is running for Washtenaw County Clerk (or something
like that) next year. If he is elected and also to the grex board, grex would
have an elected county official on its board. Would be pretty cool

Campaign items have never been a tradition here on Grex, but I think
they're a great idea. I should also point out, though, that I think
I'm the one who first used one for M-Net, so of course I think they're
a good idea.

I think there's a command you can use to view candidates campaign
speeches or something. I remember using something like that last year.

Where does it get the speeches from John? Some kind of direct link to
the picospan item?

Each board candidate can prepare a short "statement" that the vote
program will display on request. I'll be sending the candidates
email on how to prepare such a statement and make it visible to the
vote program. (I should do that soon, come to think of it.)
