[Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2017-11: Military Members

[Wes Benedict]

I was discussing this with staff just now, about the timing being a few 
days after Memorial Day, and how people will wonder why they receive 
this. Obviously this would have been better to send on or before 
Memorial Day but it wasn't passed yet.

So, on second thought, staff's current plan is to post this as a blog 
entry, and then link to it in a compilation email next week.

That's our plan, but if all of you clearly think something different 
should happen, or if the chair directs us otherwise, we'd certainly send 
this out as an email to membership and as a press release.

Thanks,

Wes Benedict, Executive Director
