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.

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.

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?

Bonus question: What color shirt did Captain Pickard wear when he met Captain
Kirk.

(Obviously, only folks who were around Grex in 1991 could do the history
quiz...)

I was here and could do it but I'm having more fun ridiculing the idea.

Gosh. Let's see... Valerie was the first president, so she must have
been on the Board. I think Dan Romanchik was the first treasurer. Marc
Unangst was still under 18 so he probably wasn't included. I think
Marcus refused to run because outsiders like myself thought of Grex as
"Marcus's New System". Um... My guess is:
Mary Valdivia (chelsea), Valerie Mates (popcorn), Dan Romachik (danr),
John Remmers (remmers), STeve Andre (steve), Katie Geddes (katie), Brian
Dunkle (bad)
Or were there 9 Board members? I don't remember.
Congrats to the winners of the 2006 election. Thanks to all who ran!
