Seven candidates for four positions is pretty good. Today is the last day
for nominations, I think, but people who have been nominated can still ponder
over whether or not to accept for a while longer.

I'm guessing that that is a acceptance, but I believe the election czar likes
his acceptances to be explicit.

Nominations run through the 15th, so folks still have a day to place
new names in nomination.

uhh.... watching the school board keeps me plenty busy, especially on
Wednesdays. Sailing Club treasury burns off more time. Nonetheless, I'm
flattered. Since I won't mind losing, I accept the nomination. :)

I am leaning against accepting my nomination, but I shall relish
the opportunity to dither for two more weeks.

Re #125: Sounds like a scandal in the making, Ken. We're mostly pretty
liberal folks here, but imagine the impression it would make on the community
at large if it came out that a board member relished dithering.
I second Mary's thanks, and Anne's hopefulness.

Well, at least dither relishing isn't bad as practicing thespianism

I must regretfully turn down my nomination to run for BoD at
this time. It would be worthwhile, perhaps, to help fill out
the field, and stand more or less for the status quo ante.
But I don't think I could devote sufficient time to policy
issues with the other balls I have in the air right now.

4 seats are open. I also would like an updated list of nominees and
nominees who have accepted and declined.

You'd make a wonderful board member, Carolyn. If you can
at all fit it into your busy schedule please accept you
nomination. It's two years, one evening a month, and the
pay is pretty darn good.

I'll put up an updated list tomorrow, when I have time to go
through the item. (Unless somebody beats me to it.)

maybe it should be said that those who have been nominated and have
not either accepted or declined, are presumed to have accepted and
after the deadline, are automatically put on the ballot. this would
presumably eliminate the problem of procrastination. I think
if one is nominated, one has an obligation to make a decision based
solely on whether they want to run or not, and should not wait around
to see who else is nominated or accepts nominations. it is not
fair to those who are eager candidates for others to simply not
answer or drag things out and make people believe they might run
when it fact they won't

or maybe a simpler way to do it, is that whoever is placed in nomination,
is notified via email of their nomination, and has ten days toe ither
accept or decline. no more dragging this out. no more dragging things
out and not making decision, thereby influencing other people to make
or not make decisions. I think the grex electorate is entitled to swift
and clear decisions on who wants, really wants, to run and who doesnt.
