Registrars;
I have been requested to assist the Executive Committee in managing the
election for the positions of Chair, Vice-Chair and Secretary. These
positions must be filled prior to July 31, 2004 when the current
positions expire. Rick Wesson has indicated that he is ineligible to
stand for the position of Vice Chair according to the provisions of
3.3.1 of our bylaws. He is eligible to stand for other positions within
the Executive Committee. The position of Treasurer having been recently
filled by Donna McGehee of BulkRegister is not open until July 31, 2005
and is not a part of this ballot at this time. Jean-Michel Becar will be
confirmed via ballot as part of this process. At least 50% of the
ballots cast in this confirmation must explicitly affirm his appointment
otherwise we will be required to re-open the nomination process per
section 4.3.5 of the Constituency bylaws.
