Hi all, Some of you may be aware of the organization called the World Transhumanist Association, and currently in the process of being rebranded as "H+" aka "Humanity+"
I've been on the board of the organization since the middle of the year and among other things have been helping out with the management of the H+ magazine http://www.hplusmagazine.com/ whose first issue got nearly 600,000 downloads. The organization is in a phase of rapid growth and change, and I'm hoping it can grow beyond its roots to become a major force in spreading futurist memes throughout the world... ... which brings us to the purpose of the current message.... the Humanity+ (formerly World Transhumanist Association) Board elections begin tomorrow, Monday January 11th. To vote in the elections, you need to be a Supporting or Sustaining Member. Eight seats are open. If you have any interest in such things, it would be great if you could renew your membership or become a member by tonight so that you can vote in next week's elections. Here are the candidates running: http://www.transhumanism.org/index.php/WTA/more/hbrdc/ I'd like to especially recommend supporting the first eight candidates listed at the URL: Sonia Arrison, George Dvorsky, Patri Friedman, Ben Goertzel (big surprise), Stephane Gounari, Todd Huffman, Jonas Lamis, and Mike LaTorra. Sorry for the short notice, but if you see this in time and have the interest, I hope you'll become a member by tonight so that you can vote next week. You can renew / become a member here for $25-$50 (please see middle of page with the "1 Year" or "2 Year" buttons): http://transhumanism.org/index.php/WTA/join/ thx Ben ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=126863270-d7b0b0 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
