Nominations for Special Election to Fill Board Vacancies
| 
Jan 7 14:44 UTC 2006 |
A special election needs to be held to fill the unexpired terms of Steve
Van Loon (vanloons) and David Cahill (dpc), both of whom have resigned
from the Grex board of directors. The terms will run through December
2006. Use this item to place names in nomination. Self-nominations are
allowed.
The same eligibility requirements apply as in a regular board election:
By the time the election begins, you must be a member in good standing
who has paid at least three months membership dues.
I've recommended to the board that nominations be open for two weeks,
followed immediately by an online election over a period of 15 days, the
same length as a regular election.

Remmers, could you please list both current board members and former board
members who cannot be reelected this year, so we will know who is left to
nominate? If there are not enough people willing to run, could the bylaws
be changed to allow reelecting someone who has been out of office for a
shorter period than usually required?

The current Directors are listed at
http://www.cyberspace.org/local/grex/bod.html
which also has the list of those who have served before, including their dates
of service. The Directors are aruba, slynne, gelinas, bhoward and polygon.
Those ineligible for election are vanloons, dpc and mary. mooncat has been
out of office for one year and so is eligible for election.
I would hope some of those who refused a two-year term next month will
consider standing for these one-year terms.

I would like to renominate Mike Mcnally. His earlier objections
not withstanding, I think he would make an excellent member of
the board.

I think everyone nominated so far would do a good job and I would be
priveledged to serve on the board with any of them. Seriously. They are
all folks whose opinions I respect.

I accept Sindi's recommendation.
I haven't been terribly active on Grex lately, but I'd like to change
that. My kids are big enough so that even board meetings wouldn't be
any real problem anymore.

Re #19:
I decline. If I had chosen EMU or Concordia as my college I would accept, but
I'm a student at Calvin, which is in Grand Rapids -- too far a distance.
I also nominate srw.
