RE: [registrars] Terms for Excom officers

["Michael D. Palage" <michael@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Bob:

For a historical retrospect of the significance of May. As you are aware
the Registrar Constituency was created in May 1999 when I was elected as
the first interim secretariat/chair of the constituency in addition to
the three original names council representatives (Amadeu, Ken, and
Richard). The constituency followed up these interim positions with
permanent positions in June of 1999 prior to the Santiago meeting. 

Just thought I would provide a little history lesson for those
registrars not around in 1999, plus double check my recollection of
history against your memory. Hopefully I got it right :-)

Best regards,

Michael

Dear Members:

It has been called to my attention that I should have specified the
length 
of the terms for officers newly elected under the present call for
nominations.

We "normally" elect officers in May (though we seldom have gotten it
done 
by then).

At any rate, though the By-Laws are mute on when our year begins, I
think 
we should live with tradition and have the officers newly elected have 
terms ending in May.

Cordially, BobC
