I'll add that I'm a bit on the fence about accepting.  In the event that I 
do accept, since I am also voteadm -- the way that's been handled in the 
past is to have a second person verify the ballot count.

Also, I'll add my voice to those endorsing Jan Wolter.  I hope he accepts.

I hope Mary will consider accepting, too. Though I know I can't vote for
anyone...

After conducting some interior dialog with myself, I've decided to accept 
my nomination.

Although I appreciate being nominated, I'll decline this time around.  
Some really good people are willing to serve.  Cool.

I am happy to ACCEPT my nomination for re-election to the Grex board of
directors.  Thanks to all who have supported and encouraged me.

Okay, remaining nominees have until the end of today (Nov. 30, EST) to 
accept, should they wish to do so.  The polls will open on December 1, 
as soon as I know the complete list of candidates and have verified 
their eligibility with the treasurer.

I've sent all declared candidates on how to create a "campaign 
statement" viewable from the vote program.  In the interest of 
redundancy, I'll repeat the instructions here:

(1) Create a text file in your home directory named "statement" (note: 
filename must be lower-case).  The file must not exceed 22 lines in 
length; each line should contain a maximum of 79 characters.  If you 
exceed these limits, the vote program will not display the entire file.

(2) Insure that the file is world-readable.

If you need assistance in setting this up, let me know and I'll provide 
it.  If you've been a candidate before and have an old "statement" file 
lying around, you might want to edit it to insure that it's up to date.

I have decided to withdraw, given the wonderful field of exceptional
candidates.  I  believe there are more  good candidates than seats, and would
will be supporting some of them in the election.

Sorry to hear that, Colleen. I've removed your name from the candidate 
list.

The polls are now open. To run the vote program, type "vote" at a Unix 
shell prompt, "!vote" at most other prompts, or from the web, go to
https://grex.org/cgi-bin/pw/voting-booth .

Anybody can vote, but only the votes of members in good standing will be 
counted in determining the outcome of the election.  The polls are open 
through December 15 (EST).

I have to agree with #88's "more good candidates than seats." I hope those who
are not elected will agree to run again in the next election.

The election ends this Friday, December 15, at the end of the day (EST.)  
Steve Weiss (srw) will be doing an independent count vote.  As soon as the 
treasurer has certified that the voters group is up-to-date (so that we 
know whose votes to count) and Steve and my counts agree, I'll post the 
election results.

Steve will be doing the count sometime this weekend, but I don't know how 
soon he can get to it, so be patient.

   1 glenda

The first board election would have been in 1991, so right:  15 years, 16 
elections.

History quiz:  Can anybody name, without looking it up, the members of the 
first Grex board?
