I'll acknowledge the result, but am not willing to comment on his
motivation, not having lived in his head.

Again, the facts are true.  But what his motivation is we may never no.

Please!  I promise to not abuse this list in any manner, and use it solely
for effecting the election.  I am willing to do all the work myself, if
necessary, funneling election message traffic through my domain mail server,
and auto-forwarding the results to designated watchdogs.

Yes.  I will affirm that.  I'm sure Jefsey would as well.

Well . . .  My only problem with this is two-fold.  First, we need to hold a
proper call for nominees, which means using the list to contact all members
and solicuiting same.  We then need to post the candidates' statements
online for a period, so people know what the candidates stand for.  I'd also
call for including a mandatory list of Internet-related organizations in
which the candidate is serving in a leadership role.

Secondly, I'm leaving on a one-week road trip on Mar 22nd, and won't be back
until Mar 28th.  I won't have access to my e-mail account until I return.  I
will be taking a laptop with me and will be in contact with my work, so if
things get *really* gnarly Jefsey and Judyth both know my address there.
But the company frowns on private use, so I'd just as soon not give it out
here.

So would I!
