By the way, the materials that the BFW Board sent to prospective Board members (two of whom were actually appointed to fill vacant seats) earlier this year explicitly said that any BFW member in good standing who wished to have their name included on the ballot could do so by requesting it of the Board.
Of course, the Board also reserved the right to choose a slate of candidates to endorse, which is as it should be. But I presume that the "applications"to the Board are for the purpose of selecting a slate of endorsed candidates, and not merely for inclusion on the ballot. I think it is admirable of the Board to allow any BFW member to be on the upcoming ballot, especially given some of comments made on this list about the Board in the last six months. Although the Board has not (to my knowledge) had any of the "listening sessions" (in any locale) that were promised earlier this year, their willingness to open the upcoming election to the entire membership is a very positive sign.
