Nominations for the 2009 Grex Board of Directors
| 
Nov 22 21:05 UTC 2008 |
Nominations are now open for the Cyberspace Communications, Inc. Board of
Directors. In accordance with Article 4, Section d of the Bylaws, nominations
were supposed to close on November 15 and an online election be held December
1 through December 15. Unfortunately, I misremembered the timeline, so I'm
opening the nominations late. Unless overruled, I will run the election from
December 7 to December 22, the usual fifteen days, just one week later than
required.
Terms of office begin on January 1, 2009, and are two years in length. Three
seats are up for election this time around.
Grex membership is a requirement for serving on the Board. Any current member
of Grex who has paid at least 3 months' membership dues and meets state of
Michigan eligibility requirements may run for and serve on the Board unless
they are currently serving and are completing the second of two consecutive
terms. People in the latter group are eligible to run again in next year's
election if they are still members at that time.
The terms of four board members have one more year to run: Denise Anderson
(denise), Steve Andre (steve), Mark Conger (aruba), and Chuck Martin
(unicorn). Hence there is no point in nominating any of them.
The two board members whose terms end on December 31 are Dan Cross (cross)
and Colleen McGee (cmcgee). Both are eligible for another term as Director.
The third seat open this year is currently vacant.
To appear on the ballot, a person must be nominated in this item by November
30 and affirmatively accept the nomination in this item before the start of
voting on December 7. Seconds are not required. Self-nominations are
permitted and will be interpreted as active acceptance of the nomination.

I guess nharmon pretty much nominated every Grex account showing signs of
life. Is there a secret message to that?

You already did that on #2. Thank you. But of course I am not a member and
I also am unable of doing anything for Grex requiring physical presence which
is probably the thing Grex needs above all--physical presence and caring of
its core members.

The two Grex members I have actually seen doing things for Grex are cross and
gelinas. I propose their nominations and will also vote for them if given a
chance.

I've given it some thought and will pass on running for the BOD this time
around. Thanks for the nominations though.

I am not eligible, as I am not a member.
I would not run anyway, as I perceive a conflict of interest for me. I
am a member of the Board of Directors of Arbornet.
I do appreciate Grex and wish it the best, along with all who make
themselves available for it's Board of Directors.

resp:15 Just out of curiosity, why do you see this as a conflict of
interest?
