Please record my proxy going to Marilyn.
I am hoping to join the NC meeting by audio but in case I am not on the
call, Marilyn can exercise my proxy.
I take it that the ballots for board member will be conducted by email - as
per your note below.
If that is the case then there should not be any problem with me
participating.
If, however, you are planning to hold any voting in Montevideo in person,
then please let me know what the alternatives are for remote participation.
Thanks

Colleagues,

PROXY
-----
I have a proxy given by Caroline to Guillermo.
We need a replacement to Paul Kane for votes.

I would appreciate to know all PROXIES as soon as possible
(before 1 September 2001 would be greatly appreciated).


TIME
----
Today we know that there are 4 candidates running, which gives
us a mathematical upperlimit: after 1st ballot we have no more
than 3 names, after 2nd no more than 2 names, and, unless tie,
we have a winner in the third.

We have agreed on votes:
        Vote 1 Sat 8 September, after the NC meeting
        Vote 2 Mon 10
        Vote 3 Thu 13
        Vote 4 Fri 14
        Tel conf Sat 15
which implements:
