Steve's term had another year to run, I believe. So we want to ignore
that and simply go to elections of five and two instead of four and three,
alternate years?
Or we could have the winning candidate getting the fewest votes fill the
remainder of Steve's term, which is one year. In the event of a tie, flip
a coin or draw lots.
I'd rather something along the lines of the later, so we could keep the
number of candidates each election year as it has been.

I agree with Mary in #41, but maybe it should be a seperate election
entirely?

I'd like to nominate a few more people:
Walter Cramer (i)
Eric Bassey (other)
Ken Josenhans (krj)
You'd all be (have been) a great fit for this job.
Please consider accepting the nomination.

I would like to second happyboy's nomination, only because I like him, not
because I expect him to accept or anything.
But who knows. Maybe before slynne nominated, she made sure it'd be accepted.
Maybe we're in for a surprise, folks.

No, I didnt discuss it with him. I would be surprised, but pleasantly
so, if he accepted.
Although I disagree with him on a lot of things, I think cyklone would
probably do a good job and I nominate him although I doubt he'll accept.

Re #41: I think the bylaws require 4 ballot slots one year, 3 the next.
So if we merge the vacancy-filling election with the regular one, some
scheme (such as lowest vote-getter, or drawing lots) would be needed.
Now that I think of it, holding a special election for the vacancy,
separate from the regular one, might be the cleanest way to go. That
way, there'd be no ambiguity about what a candidate was running for.
The bylaws require that an election to fill a vacancy be held within
three months of the occurrence of the vacancy. We could hold the
regular election, with four slots, on schedule and the special election
anytime before early February.
The downside of that would be a longer period of time with a reduced-
size Board.
The Board should decide how to handle this.

I'd rather do it in one election, as Mary suggests in #41, so that we have
7 board members as soon as possible. But I suppose that's not 100%
consistent with the bylaws.

Could one of the outgoing members stick around until February? If more than
one of them were willing, have the voters choose one for the short-term
position?

Whatever we do has to be 100% consistent with the bylaws. We don't
want to give anyone a reason for challenging an election.

At its meeting last night, the board decided to hold a separate
election to fill the vacancy after the regular electionn. Probably in
January.

The nominations were due to close on the 15th, but Grex was offline
between the 12th and the 19th. The board is exchanging mail in
regards to how this should be handled. I've asked for the board
to vote, in mail, to allow the nominating period to remain open
for an extra week to compensate for this downtime. There seems
to be a question about whether the bylaws address this specific
situation.
Anyhow, this question needs to be resolved fairly quickly to be
helpful. If anyone has any comments or concerns about the propriety
of such an extension, please let us know.
