["Peter de Blanc" <pdeblanc@usvi.net>]

I propose that the election be held immediately AFTER the Montevideo
meeting.

Being new, I may be breaching some protocol, for which I apologize. My
understanding is that topics must be submitted 10 days in advance.  IF
this needs to go to the full council, can you forward it?  I assumed it
needed to only go to the Intake Committee, but wasn't sure. 

I'd like to suggest a brief discussion of the upcoming board election
processes and "voting" dates for our upcoming 8/16 call.

I propose that we hold the elections 8/29-31, immediately following the
close of the endorsement period.  If needed as a resolution, let me
know...

The three week endorsement period offers a complete campaign period to
the candidates,  and given other priorities of work during the
Montevideo meeting, I propose that we hold the vote 8/29-31.

It would be good to have a very brief overview of the actual election
process as well during our call, or in follow up by email, since several
of us are "new" voters.
