If nobody else has gotten around to it, I second remmers, janc, mary and
steve. And I decline the nomination if one or more of them will accept, since
I don't think I represent the majority of grexers very well (nor do I live
near enough to where the meetings tend to take place).

I'll make my habitual nomination of Colleen McGee (cmcgee). She's been
active on Grex for years and has extensive experience serving of boards of
non-profit organisations. She'd be a real asset, and hopefully she'll
accept this time.

Hey, thanks John!
Yes, my 10 years on the AATA board has come to an end. I'll be glad to accept
the nomination.
PS, Mark, I'll email you to get current on my dues, so I can legally do this.

resp:25 Thanks, but while I'm still living outside of Ann Arbor- I don't
think it's a good idea. See me next year. ;)

Tomorrow, November 15, is the last day to nominate. Nominees have until
the beginning of voting on December 1 to accept.
There might be people who have been nominated but are unaware of that fact
because they don't read this conference. It's the responsibility of the
person making the nomination to alert the nominee.

We had a staff member in India. You use the phone to attend meetings.

I avoid talking on the phone when possible. I might accept a nomination in a
few years' time when I've finished school, if I stay in the Ann Arbor area.

Voteadmin: #31 doesn't list whether those who have not accepted the nomination
declined it or haven't responded. Could the next list include this information?

I second. Other has already been on the board. srw is probably going to
refuse as he is staff.

re #48 and 49
I think these members would be good on the board, so I hearby nominate
them:
jep
jared
eskarina
other
srw
I think it is odd to nominate people who don't participate in this conference.
Jared is the only participant and he hasn't been here since July....

Heh. I participate in the conference but only via Backtalk.
I decline the nomination but I appreciate the thought, remmers!

The current list of members of Grex, to which I referred when making my
nominations, may be accessed by running the UNIX commands "member" or "members"
("member" pipes through a pager, while "members" is suitable for piping through
grep, say). The BBS command "part" only shows which users have posted in this
conference -- not a reliable indicator of membership, since some members may
not read coop, and we allow anyone to post here regardless of membership.

So why does 'part' say that keesan and remmers are not members?
