The full proposal and voting instructions � a) are on on http://www.uvv.org/cgi-bin/getmsg/2440 � b) will be emailed to you if you contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] � c) have been posted today in the newsgroup misc.metric-system The ballot closes 25 November 2003. Do not forget that your vote has been counted only when you receive a confirmation email from the votetaker. Please do tell anyone who might be interested. -- Chris KEENAN UK Metric Assoc: www.metric.org.uk
