[registrars] Nominations for Chair.

[Rob Hall]

Tom,

At the last meeting in KL, I believe it was decided that we would use the
current boardroom roster for a vote on the budget, and freeze the boardroom
roster for this purpose as it stood then.

As I understand it, the challenge is we need to vote on the new budget to
set the fees for this year, and then people can join.

Currently, I believe the fee to join is $750, as Mike Palage said, and that
the re-occuring annual fees have been zero for the last few years.  So if a
new member were to join, they would have to pay the $750 that we all paid at
one time.

But perhaps we should have the vote on Donna's proposed budget, then we can
all pay the new suggested annual fee, and start from a clean slate/list of
members prior to the new vote for Chair.  This would allow us to clearly
know who is a member at the time of voting.

Rob.

Dear Bob,

There has been quite a bit of change in the list of active registrars since
the last election.  Its unclear how many of these have formally joined the
Registrar group.  In order to prevent some of the confusion from the last
election, I suggest the following take place well in advance of the
election:

1. Publish the list of registrars that you consider eligible to vote in this
election.

2. For those registrars not on the official list: outline the specific
criteria, process and deadline that needs to be followed for them to become
eligible to vote for this election.

Does anyone have any objections to this?

Best Regards,
