It seems fairly easy to use BFW's web site to publish all candidates and
statements. Board-endorsed candidates could be highlighted or something
(though my tendency is usually to not vote for endorsed candidates). You
can't have a democratic election if those who wish to run and are not
approved by the board have no way of campaigning or contacting the
membership. So, in addition to working on revising bylaws, I would hope
that BFW could look at some revisions to the website - maybe a "members
only" section, if necessary where information for members - from bylaws
to current organization news - is available and contact with board
members is facilitated.

While I support the board policy of endorsing those candidates that we believe
to be best suited to fill the current needs of the group, we will review ways
to ensure that all qualified candidates will have the opportunity to run for a
board position, such as placing unendorsed candidates on the ballot.
The review and possible changes will be complete prior to the 2008 nominating
process. Your continued input is invited and welcome.
Thank you for your understanding.
