Jim,<br><br>I just noticed an interesting detail on the voting procedure. Although the 10-day period ends at 6:35 pm EST today, it can end earlier if all members have cast ballots. According to my own tally, Brett Pojunis and you are the only LNC members to have not yet voted. (LNC alternates do not affect the ballot deadline.) Assuming that you both are still intending to vote, the moment that the second one of you casts a ballot, the voting will officially be over. As a practical matter that moment may not be very much different from 6:35 pm. However, after you two have both cast ballots it will no longer be possible for anyone to change their votes because voting will be closed.<br>

<br>
Article 8, Section 10:<br>
<br>
The National Committee may, without meeting together, transact
business by electronic mail. The Secretary shall send out electronic
mail ballots on any question submitted by the Chair or cosponsored
by at least 1/5 of the members of the Committee. The period for
voting on a question shall remain open for ten days, unless all
members have cast votes, or have stated an intention to abstain, by
electronic mail to the Secretary. Votes from alternate regional
representatives will be counted, in accordance with the ranking
procedure of the region, only if the regional representative fails
to respond to the ballot.<br>
<br>
The number of votes required for passage of any motion shall be the
same as that required during a meeting. The Secretary shall preserve
all such votes until the next meeting of the National Committee, at
which meeting the Committee shall order the disposition of such
votes.<br>
