[atlarge-discuss] POLING COMMITTEE: Status Report

["J-F C. (Jefsey) Morfin" <jefsey@club-internet.fr>]

Dear Polling Committee Members,
Dear Members;
I report here on the status of the preparation of the Panel election:

The current status is the following;
- 11 Panelists are to be elected
- 19 Members have accepted to be a candidate
- 3 Members have not been reached at their listed mail address
- 34 Nominees have declined
- 99 Members have not responded yet
- 3 Members are considering after a first question
- 1013 Members have a working listed e-mail
The detail of the responses and of the links is semi-automatically 
maintained at http://execlub.org/atlarge.htm


The mail I proposed yesterday and you tacitly agreed has been sent to all 
the nominees after being edited by a neutral professional third party. As 
you know it recalls the Candidates about the missing URL and the debate on 
the mailing list; and the nominees about the need for them to respond 
before midnight GMT tomorrow.


The following part interests every one:
"The ballot will include questions to the Members by the Members. The 
responses will tell the Panelists what the Members want them to do. Please 
send your concerns to the Polling Committee. They will be packed by themes. 
We do not want to overlook any theme and any suggested option."


The following paragraph is of interest to the nominees having declined and 
to the whole Membership:
"Many have proposed to help: you can now be a watchdog. You will receive a 
copy of all the Voters ID. The whole file of the anonymous votes will be 
released after the vote. This list will permit you to check that no faked 
ballot was counted and also that no ballot was removed. You will 
participate to the vote on litigious cases. The Polling Committee Members 
act as watchdogs too. They have received the list of the names associated 
to each Voter ID.

For practical management reasons the Polling Committee may chose a maximum 
of three Watchdogs among the interested Members." (I note that I added that 
last sentence after considering the load on me and the time draught from my 
familly and my business).


The dates of the vote are from May 17th to May 27th. We have voted your 
proposed a 10 days voting period to give time to the Members. At that time 
we feared that candidates could be hurt by ad hominem and bickering. It 
seems the dialog is courteous. Would that permit to give it some extra days?
