I am leaning against accepting my nomination, but I shall relish
the opportunity to dither for two more weeks.

Re #125: Sounds like a scandal in the making, Ken. We're mostly pretty
liberal folks here, but imagine the impression it would make on the community
at large if it came out that a board member relished dithering.
I second Mary's thanks, and Anne's hopefulness.

Well, at least dither relishing isn't bad as practicing thespianism
and public mastication.

I must regretfully turn down my nomination to run for BoD at
this time. It would be worthwhile, perhaps, to help fill out
the field, and stand more or less for the status quo ante.
But I don't think I could devote sufficient time to policy
issues with the other balls I have in the air right now.

4 seats are open. I also would like an updated list of nominees and
nominees who have accepted and declined.

You'd make a wonderful board member, Carolyn. If you can
at all fit it into your busy schedule please accept you
nomination. It's two years, one evening a month, and the
pay is pretty darn good.

I'll put up an updated list tomorrow, when I have time to go
through the item. (Unless somebody beats me to it.)

maybe it should be said that those who have been nominated and have
not either accepted or declined, are presumed to have accepted and
after the deadline, are automatically put on the ballot. this would
presumably eliminate the problem of procrastination. I think
if one is nominated, one has an obligation to make a decision based
solely on whether they want to run or not, and should not wait around
to see who else is nominated or accepts nominations. it is not
fair to those who are eager candidates for others to simply not
answer or drag things out and make people believe they might run
when it fact they won't

or maybe a simpler way to do it, is that whoever is placed in nomination,
is notified via email of their nomination, and has ten days toe ither
accept or decline. no more dragging this out. no more dragging things
out and not making decision, thereby influencing other people to make
or not make decisions. I think the grex electorate is entitled to swift
and clear decisions on who wants, really wants, to run and who doesnt.

Since acceptances and declinations can be withdrawn (that is, nominees can
change their minds) at any time up to the beginning of balloting, assumptions
of their intentions are invalid.
We can afford patience.

I disagree. Making a decision on whether or not to run based on who else is
on the ballot sounds perfectly sensible to me. I care a lot about Grex, and
if there were any kind of real shortage of good candidates willing to serve
on the board, I'd be there in a minute. But board meetings are fairly hard
for me to get to on a reliable basis these days, and there are lots of other
ways I can contribute to Grex. So much as I enjoy the ego-boo of being on
board, I'm not going to do it unless either there are not enough other good
candidates, or if there is some issue that I want to get involved in for which
being a board member is useful (getting 501c3 done was one such issue a few
years back).

Nine candidates for 4 seats is a surfeit of riches, and will be a darned hard
choice.

Thanks, Jan
I am going to decline, again. To add another BoD to my schedule would
mean resigning from another one. Like Jan, I would gladly serve if I
thought it was critical to Grex's survival, or if at some future time I'm
no longer on three other boards.
For this election however, I'm sure we can elect four really good people
from the selection above.
