SIgh - now the DNSO don't have the resources to even allow us to run
an election.  Sometimes I really wonder if it is all worth it.

I suggest to get around this we have a slightly less informal election
than for ga-chair.  This is an appt that Danny could make himself but
instead he has chosen to let the GA vote on.

Firstly the electoral college should just be the current ga@dnso.org
(and ga-full automatically) subscribers.  That one ballot paper can be
sent to the mailing list and that is it.

A voting address should be provided which goes to a couple of
scrutineers.  I would suggest Michael Froomkin and Kent Crispin if
they are willing.  if those two agree on the vote count we can be sure
it is correct :-)

The ballot paper will have a list of nominees and people vote for the
person they want.  The e-mail must be sent from the an address which
is subscribed to ga@dnso.org.  The person voting will also receive
back a confirmation of how they voted so this stops anyone voting on
behalf of someone else without their knowledge.

We open nominations for a week and have voting for a week so we should
get a result in just over two weeks.

That is my 2c worth.
