Re: Re[2]: [ga] Ballot question

Dear Marilyn

Early this month we were faced with a similar ballot & voting problem at
AINC.

Mr. Joop Teernstra facilitated for us to do an online voting that was
excellent and very secured as far as all of AINC members concerned.

Why not ask Joop to do the same for the GA?

Regards,

Asaad Y. Alnajjar, P.E.
