resp:162 :: I'm not the authoritative voice here, but I think
pthomas has not met the membership requirement listed in resp:0
in order to run for the board; he's not listed in the output
of the !members command or in the treasurer's thank-you item
in Agora. So unless there is a membership payment being processed,
I think Phil has 11 hours to establish himself as a member.

That's correct, he has until midnight.

(I sent mail to Phil after he entered #162, telling him how to become a
member.)

OK, the deadline has passed without pthomas becoming a member, so he is not
eligible to run for the board. All the other candidates are members in good
standing.

And the vote program is now up and running for the board election.
Telnet and dialup users: Type "vote" at a Unix shell prompt, or
"!vote" at almost any other prompt, to enter the voting booth.
Once there, you can see the candidate list, read their statements,
and vote if you wish.
You can do all of the above on the web as well, by visiting
http://cyberspace.org/cgi-bin/pw/voting-booth .
You can modify your vote as many times as you wish.
The polls close on December 15, at midnight.

I recognize that this item is not the best place to make this particular
suggestion, but I believe it would be useful to set up an alias in Picospan
that would call up the vote program. Requiring an exclamation point
to preceed the command in Picospan seems unnecessary.

Re #181: I disabled the program for a few minutes to correct a
mistake on the ballot. It's back in business now.
Re #182: I agree, it'd be nice. I guess 'i' would be the person
to address the request to.

Also re #181: You don't have to vote again unless you want to
change your previous vote. I emailed everybody who'd voted so
far (7 people) about the mistake (Joe Gelinas was accidentally
left off the ballot), so you should've received that mail.

I just voted. It appears that there are more excellent candidates running
than there are slots available on the board. Thanks to all who ran.

hey just though of something...what happens if there is a tie in
the voting? say, since four new new board members are being elected
and there is a two or three way tie for fourth place? is there
a runoff election or would the current board vote for the final board
member among those tied?

I guess if there was a tie, the policy could be to then count the non member
votes and see if that breaks the tie?

I imagine we would have a runoff election among those tied.

The bylaws don't specify how to resolve ties. If it comes up,
I'd think the board - as the elected representatives of the
members - would be the appropriate body to decide how to
resolve it. There'd be time to do that, since the current
board remains in office for 16 days after the end of the
election. There'd even be time for discussion in Coop
beforehand.

The election is over. I'm going to hold off reporting the results
until I receive confirmation from the treasurer that the voter list
is accurate.

Sorry I forgot to check my mail last night. The voters list is indeed
accurate (I just sent mail to John).
