Oh my, more than one candidate. Now I'll have to, like, fire up the
vote program and stuff. ;-)
Seriously, I'm glad we have folks running.

I'm pleased to see three candidates running for the open slot.
Reminders:
(1) Voting begins December 1 and runs for 15 days.
(2) A candidate can optionally have a "campaign statement" that is shown
on the ballot. Just create a plain text file named "statement" (file
name must be in lower case) in your home directory and the vote program
will display it.

The polls are now open for the election. To view the ballot, and
optionally vote, visit https://grex.org/cgi-bin/pw/voting-booth. Voting
ends at the end of the day (EST) on December 15.

Wait a minute. We have three good candidates for just one position. I
don't know who to choose. :(

Yeah, it IS tough to choose [which is why I haven't voted yet but will,
eventually].

this is why a candidates forum was needed. Now its just a popularity
contest.

What sort of "candidates forum" were you looking for, exactly? If you're
interested in some topic, why not post an item here in Coop and ask the
candidates to comment on it?

Also the ballot lists Mooncat as running. Actually Jadecat is running
this time. Her evil twin. Not that its going to confuse anyone here
though :)

Well, our voting membership is so small that votes aren't *really*
anonymous. And fwiw, I know all of the candidates and don't really need
statements from them. I might end up pulling a name out of a hat.
So, candidates, if I don't vote for you, it isn't a statement about how
fit I believe anyone is to be on the BOD.

Most members might be able to use information about what background and skills
caondidates can bring to the board. "Statements" are often pap. Facts can be
informative.

resp:59 Dude, we're talking about a community of, like, 12 people
here, all of whom know each other very well. Do you *really* think a
simple statement wouldn't suffice for this election?

I know of the community here what they divulge, but seldom do they
divulge their training and skills, and even occupations, related to the
corporate matters with which the board is concerned.

resp:61 I really think you're reaching here. You've interacted with
these people for many, many years, Rane. If you can't decide which of
the three individuals running are qualified for the board based on
that, and maybe a simple statement, then I just don't know what to say.

Re resp:56 - Thanks for the correction re 'jadecat', Richard. I've
updated the ballot accordingly.
Yeah, no statements from the candidates so far. I reminded them all via
email how to do it, but no takers so far. If any of them creates a
statement before the polls close, the vote program will automatically
start displaying it.

You know, since gelinas and ts are running for re-election and want to
serve, I say retract the previous board amendment and keep the board at
seven members as long as there are seven willing to serve. This way TS
and Gelinas can keep their seats and Jadecat can have one and that makes
seven. Grex is in no position to be turning away people who want to serve.
