<p class="MsoNormal">I found another typo in the Vice Chair ballots I posted today, so I am
<u>withdrawing</u> Ballots Forum-5 and SC5 - Election of CABF and SCWG Vice Chairs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I will re-post the ballots on Friday. I apologize – this is what happens when you try to modify a prior email and you work too quickly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I re-post the two ballots, I will post them as Draft Ballots until next Wednesday, Sept. 12. At that point, I will start a 7 day discussion period (when the candidates can post statements if they want), followed by a 7 day voting
period. We have lots of time, as the new Vice Chair terms do not start until November 1.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">*<b>What does this mean?</b>*<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. For candidates – Please do *<b>not</b>* post your statements yet, but wait until I re-start the discussion period next week on Wednesday, Sept. 12.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. For Members – do not vote on either ballot yet.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. For Members – As I indicated in my message earlier today, I do not believe that Bylaw 4.1 on election of officers requires that we have a proposer and two endorsers for officer election ballots. However, I don’t feel strongly about
this, so if there are three Members who wish to volunteer as a <u>proposer</u> and
<u>two endorsers</u> for the upcoming ballots, Ballot Forum-5 and Ballot SC5 – <u>
please post your names</u> by next Tuesday as a proposer and/or endorser of both ballots, and I will include your names in the ballots. If no one volunteers to be a proposer or endorser of either ballot, the ballots will proceed without proposers and endorsers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for your patience.<o:p></o:p></p>
