Subject: [Emc-users] Voting time again..

 Hi all, it's time to have another election for the Board of Directors.
 
 The first step is to have nominations.  These take place on the
 emc-users list.  
 
 To make a nomination, please put NOMINATION in the subject 
 of your message.  
 Nominations must be seconded by another person to be considered; 
 to second a nomination please put SECONDED in the subject.  
 The nominated person should then accept or decline the nomination.
 
 Let's start nominations now and run them through Jan 12 2009,
 23:59:59 UTC.
 
 Like last time, we'll have a wiki page where the nominees can write
 a bit about their experience and goals if they like:
 
 http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?BoardElection
 
 The Board has asked Michael Cornelius to run the voting for us.
 Michael is not involved in the EMC project but he is a Free Software
 advocate in many ways and has graciously offered to help out 
 (like he did last time).  The Board will provide him a list 
 of email addresses made from joining the lists of people receiving 
 the emc-users and emc-developers emails.
 
 He will send a ballot to each person and have a special email address
 set up to receive the votes.  When voting closes he will report back
 the names of our new Board members.  When the time comes he will give
 us all specific instructions about how to vote.
 
 I wish good luck to the nominees, and give my sincere thanks to
 everyone on the lists who will participate in setting the future
 direction of the EMC project.
 
 Alex

Alex - A simple procedural question - will voting instructions  ballots be
sent through the list or is there an email address we should whitelist to
make sure they get through (don't want to inadvertently miss anything) ?
Thanks.  

And good luck to all nominees - looking at the 2007 page it looks like a
good crew no matter the results.  Responsible voting will definitely take
some serious deliberation so make your bio's count gents!
