<div>
Thanks Jeff. I'm inclined to agree. I want to be sure we're also
fair to the candidates and endorsers who were within the bylaws. So I propose:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
1. We accept Yoav's explanation of the technical glitch he encourtered.
I think any of us would expect the same consideration, especially since by its nature we all have to participate on this list remotely.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
2. If we do not accept the nominations of Bob and Jay, we have no
Secretary candidates and will need to have a separate election for that any way. In the process, Bob and Jay will no doubt be renominated. I would prefer to just incorporate that into the existing election by i) accepting the nominations of Bob and Jay, and ii) extending the nomination period for Secretary until 11:59 pm/23:59 PDT on Friday, May 18. Any new nominations for Secretary would need to made and seconded by that time. Acceptances and COIs would need to be submitted within 48 hours of nomination.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So please consider that our course of action.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div><BR>Tim <BR></div>

We re-open the nomination period only for Secretary as we have no
“official” candidates. For all other positions, nominations would be closed as of last night as stated in the notice. We would then proceed with the election with only the “official” candidates for all positions other than Secretary. Yoav would not be on the ballot. Members who prefer Yoav or any other candidate to the ones on the ballot may abstain on the ballot and if the candidate on the ballot receives less than 50% of the vote, then there would be a new election for that position. (I don’t think that we have the capability to accept write-in ballots, but I could check on that as well).<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
