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, Reid'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, September 23 - October 6. I plan to send reminder emails approximately at the start of and just after the nomination period.
In the event that the election is uncontested, our practice is to
elect by acclimation at the meeting. Proxies are unnecessary in
that situation, assuming that the meeting makes quorum.
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.
