Maybe we should have another item for allegations against running
members?

A new item for discussion by and about the candidates would be
very reasonable.

I would like to thank Mary for nominating me, but my current level of
time investment in Grex is such that it cannot be increased. I have
served on the board before, and it was both an honor and a good
experience, but right now I think I am more valuable as a staff member,
and cannot afford to do both. Therefore, I must decline.

Thanks to whomever for nominating me. I will have to think about this.
What night are the meetings held?

A night that is convenient for the Directors, of course. ;)
Scheduling the meetings sometimes seems to be the President's major
headache. :)

Typically board meetings are held on whatever weeknight looks best
for all members, so it varies from month to month. I suppose
if the calendar got really tight we could even look to
weekend days or (shudder) evenings. Please consider giving this
a try, Larry.

polygon also has said he is running for Washtenaw County Clerk (or something
like that) next year. If he is elected and also to the grex board, grex would
have an elected county official on its board. Would be pretty cool

Campaign items have never been a tradition here on Grex, but I think
they're a great idea. I should also point out, though, that I think
I'm the one who first used one for M-Net, so of course I think they're
a good idea.

I think there's a command you can use to view candidates campaign
speeches or something. I remember using something like that last year.

Where does it get the speeches from John? Some kind of direct link to
the picospan item?

Each board candidate can prepare a short "statement" that the vote
program will display on request. I'll be sending the candidates
email on how to prepare such a statement and make it visible to the
vote program. (I should do that soon, come to think of it.)

No. Four votes per voter, and of that, maximum one vote per
candidate.

Or, put better, one vote per open position per voter, and no
candidate may be considered to be running for more than one open
position simultaneously.

I've just sent email to all the candidates, and to all nominees who
haven't declined, reminding them of deadlines and describing how to
create a "campaign statement" that the vote program will display.

Here's the list of nominees at this point. People who've accepted
are marked with a *. Others have until the end of the day (EST)
on November 30 to accept, which should done via a response in this
item. Before creating the final ballot and opening up the vote
program, I'll check with the treasurer that all the candidates
satisfy the membership requirements.

There do seem to be a bunch of good candidates already. And I do expect
to be fairly busy during the coming year.
On the other hand, I'm not currently serving on any committees or
deliberative bodies. Grex is very important to me. And I do have some
background and skills which may be useful to the board.
So, I'll accept the nomination.
