Not to make comparisons, but on the M-Net member program, you can look at
people's duration of membership and expiry dates, etc.
I would like to get some stats on who the new members are, who the lifers are,
and who the sporadic types are.

Can you give a cogent reason why that information should be public?
(Not that I think it shouldn't be, I just can't at the moment think of a
particular reason why it should be.)

I dont think its a requirement; just a nice feature.

Yeah, the information about when people expire is not stored online. I feel
it's a bit of a violation of people's privacy. With that info, for
instance, you could figure out who pays yearly and who pays month-to-month.

How is that an invasion of privacy?

Dunno if it is, but it's probably none of [your] damn business, either.

That's a nice attitude. No wonder so many fine people are volunteering.

Well, people complain about having to show ID to the treasurer, so it
stands to reason that people might be sensitive about information
regarding their member status.

Yeah, there might be some people who are ashamed of supporting a volunteer-run
organization.

I don't know for sure, but I suspect, that some people who pay
month-to-month do so because they don't feel they have enough cash reserves
to pay for a whole year at once (which would save them money). They might
not like everyone to know that.

I've just emailed all the nominees -- regardless whether they've
accepted, declined, or haven't indicated -- reminding them that
November 30 is the last day to accept the nomination and
establish voting membership.
Here's the nominee list that I scraped from this item. Apologies
in advance for any inaccuracies. The letters 'A' and 'D' stand
for "accept" and "decline", respectively. Again, anybody can
change their mind before December 1.

In the event that I decide to accept my own nomination, would
it be okay to handle that as in the past: Have somebody other
than myself -- perhaps a staff person who isn't a candidate --
check the final count?

five nominees for three open seats? I think remmers better run or mfp would
be in danger of being elected :)

While there are technically three "open" seats, one of them is held
by an incumbent who is running for re-election. Such folks are strongly
favored to win.
So there are only two seats lacking an incumbent.

I've decided to pass on running for the Board.
Again, folks have until the end of the day (EST) to accept their nomination.
I've asked the treasurer to make sure membership information is up-to-date,
as this determines eligibility to run. I'll make up the final ballot and
turn on the vote program tomorrow, December 1, as early in the day as I can
get to it.

The polls are now open. Candidates are dpc, gelinas, tod, vanloons.
To vote from a tty (telnet, ssh, dialup) connection, type 'vote' at a
Unix shell prompt or '!vote' at just about any other prompt. To vote
on the web, go to http://cyberspace.org/cgi-bin/pw/voting-booth .
Candidates are reminded (I sent mail about this a few days ago) that
they can create a campaign statement that the vote program will display.
See my email for instructions; email me if you're having problems
setting it up, and I'll provide technical assistance.

Gelinas' statement had some aspects that looked vaguely familiar... ;)
