sinp a roony (tm FGD)

If history has anything to provide here goes. I am/was the last
president. i wanted the position and ended up being the only candidate. I
pushed for a election an viola Aklug had a new Pres. IMHO if someone
wants an officer position that person needs to accept the responsibility
of staging the process. No one who is not interested in running for
office will stage a election.

Peace

Uh,
What has become of the elections?
What are the topics on the agenda?
Who's going to host the debates?
When is the deadline for voting?
Are we saving for the future ... yet?
Who's will organize (and document)
the group's decentralized resources,
events and participants for maximum
ease and simplicity on the roles involved
while maximizing effected action.
