Dear Registrars - I would like to remind everyone of the process to elect
representatives to the Council.  The idea is to finish the election prior to
the Carthage meeting on Oct. 24.  We will have 2 slots open.  So far there
have been 2 nominations - Ross Rader and Bruce Tonkin.  I would like to add
a 3rd nomination - Tom Keller, who has also done an excellent job in his
role as current reprentative.  

The process is as follows:

Each of these three must accept and get an additional endorsement.  Bruce
has received a second and has accepted.  The same needs to happen for Ross
and Tom (unless I'm forgetting and this has occurred?)
Bob, as the Constituency Secretary, must publish the motion and call for
discussion immediately and in no case later than within 48 hours of
receiving the nomination from the Proponent.  I had nominated Bruce on
Monday, September 22nd., and would count the period for nominations as open
from that date.
The nomination period will normally be held open for no less than 14 days -
through October 6th.
The ballot will be published at the end of the 14-day period  and will only
include the names of such candidates as have filed a conflict of interest by
the end of the 14 days.
The ballot will remain open for 7 days - through October 13th.

So, the bottom line is:
a) Ross and Tom - please accept, if you are willing, and find a 2nd
endorsement;
b) all 3 should publish a conflict statement; and
c) Rick will publish a ballot on October 7th.

Regards,
