As far as I saw, Anthony is our only candidate for the board seat. I believe our practice for unopposed elections is to elect by acclamation at the meeting.

The MICE UG 44 meeting will be held Wednesday, October 25, 3:00 pm at UMN. Here are the details (parking, etc.) from last time: https://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?A2=MICE-DISCUSS;2c503e19.2209 An updated Zoom link will be coming.
*Nominations*
We will be holding an election for a board seat. The board consists of three seats with staggered terms, such that one seat comes up for re-election each year (at the fall meeting). This year, Anthony's seat is up for election.
As in the past, we will close nominations in advance of the meeting so people have a chance to instruct a proxy appropriately. *Nominations will be open for two weeks (so until the end of October 7).*

*Proxies *
The bylaws state that you send proxies to the Chief Manager (me, Richard Laager), and electronic means are acceptable. So a simple email is sufficient: rlaager@wiktel.com or chiefmanager@micemn.net.
If you send me a /vote/ by email (e.g. "We vote for <X>."), I will treat it as an a proxy appointment, appointing me to vote on your behalf, but restricted to /only/ the election item and to /only/ vote for the candidate you expressed.
If you send me a proxy with different instructions (e.g. "We appoint <Y> to vote for us."), obviously that will be honored as written.
