I don't know of anyone being discouraged by management from running - certainly I didn't hear a peep from management this year on the elections, unlike past years (though the VP's responsible for that are no longer with the company) - just being discouraged from the painful experience of the past and watching the OGB over time. As I'm sure you know, it really is a thankless role, catching all the flak, but with little power to enact change. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith at oracle.com Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System
