Well, as one of the election committee members, I have to ask you whether this is your final decision or not. As you know, the voting phase has already begun and some of the Members might have voted you already.
@election committee members
We didn't suppose such a case and there's no rule to deal with. How should we respond to those who have already voted Nelson? Ignore them. Is there a way for voters to change their votes prior to voting closing? If so, they just need to change their votes.
If not, next time there should be. Voting should be open and changable until the it closes.
Greg This should be the subject of a new thread - which will no doubt arise after

One does not introduce new "rules" half-way thru a procedure when there were no rules re the process to begin with. Basil,
I don't you know well enought, but please let this thread die. Again everyone need to just let it go. Calm water make better sailing.
Chuck, I don't know *you *well "enought" (sic) either but why should I, or anyone else here, "let it die"? None of 'us' brought this subject up to begin with. It was posted, at length, here by a current Board member (unless the entry in Wikipedia is wrong). Why was the message posted here? For what reason? Irrespective of the reason, I, personally, am glad that it had been posted because it shows the underlining 'management proficiency' - for want of a better word - of the Board, and the gaps in procedures which they have allowed to exist. This should not be swept under the carpet. This is a very important matter. Of course there will be those who are total arseholes who will direct this matter into the never-never-land of stupidity but, as an ex-President of one organisation, ex-Secretary of another organisation, and ex-Treasurer of another and having to handle legalistic matters about the Rules governing those organisations, what is now happening is not to be swept under the carpet. The whole matter is just too important for the future of the Board members should they want to be considered for membership of the Foundation.
