[council] voting for board member -- procedures and when

["Cade,Marilyn S - LGA" <mcade@att.com>]

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.
