Where length of terms discussed? Not to cause trouble, but I would suggest
that the by-laws be in place, before anyone leadership is nominated / voted
upon.

> I wanted to expand on the nomination/election process that we
> discussed and agreed on at the June 15th meeting. Ron Willis
> and I conferred by phone today to try to firm up the process
> and refresh each other's memory of the agreed-upon mechanics.
> Here's what we came up with:
>
> 1) The organizational structure of LUAU will initially be composed
> of the traditional officers (President, Vice President, Secretary,
> Treasurer) plus a Webmaster who will be members of the Executive
> Committee. One of the first tasks of the Executive Committee
> after election will be to draft the Bylaws of LUAU which will
> be presented to the membership for a vote. The Bylaws will
> specify the roles of the officers and other details. See the
> Bylaws of the Linux Users of Los Angeles as an example:
> http://www.lula.org/bylaws.html
>
> 2) There will be one class of member in LUAU which will be a voting
> member with 1 vote per member. Qualifications for membership will
> be refined in the Bylaws. Members must register for membership
> with their real name and voting e-mail address. The list of
> members will not be public (to prevent the e-mail addresses from
> being sucked up by spammers) but will be available to those who
> are counting ballots to ensure that each ballot is received from
> a registered member and no more than once from each member. If
> time permits, the registration process will be set up with a
> Web form on the official LUAU site at http://luau.hi.net. If
> the form based process is not in place for the first election,
> an E-mail form will be posted to the mailing list with the
> reply-to set to Ron Willis and Joe Schuller who have agreed to
> independently receive and count votes for the first election.
> Other details of membership such as how long a member may remain
> such without voting activity will be specified in the Bylaws.
>
> 3) We will hold an election for LUAU officers now with nominations
> commencing immediately as follows:
> a) You may nominate yourself or another member for a specific
> position as listed above.
> b) Your nomination must be made publicly by a posting to the
> LUAU mailing list. (Note: Do not send your nominations to
> Ron Willis or Joe Schuller or anyone else privately.)
> c) Your nomination posting subject should begin with the word
> "NOMINATION" to allow for easy collation of the list. If
> you are proposing a NEW nomination (and not just commenting
> on a previous nomination, make sure that the subject begins
> with "NOMINATION" and not "RE: [LUAU] NOMINATION".
> d) All nominations must be accepted by the nominee via public
> declaration to the E-mail list. Please begin the subject
> of your acceptance or declination with "ACCEPT" or "DECLINE"
> as appropriate. If you accept, you may wish to introduce
> yourself to the members, make speeches, etc. If you decline
> you may wish to explain why you can't serve, or not. The
> deadline for posting a nomination to the list is 21 June 1999,
> Monday at 23:59 HST (as received by news.hi.net).
> e) If you are nominated by someone else and do not accept as
> in 3d) by 22 June 1999, Tuesday at 21:00 HST, your nomination
> will be considered as declined.
> f) I will compile the nominations, cross-check the acceptances and
> declinations and submit a list to Ron Willis and Joe Schuller
> by 22 June 1999, Tuesday at 23:59 HST for them to review for
> accuracy.
> g) An official ballot will be prepared and posted to the list by
> 24 June 1999, Thursday at 23:59 HST. The reply-to header of
> this posting will contain Ron Willis' and Joe Schuller's
> e-mail address ONLY. There will be a place on the ballot
> for you to fill in your full name and voting e-mail address
> (if you have more than one address, pick one to use as your
> voting address) and boxes to mark with an "X" for your vote
> for each office.
> h) The deadline for submission of ballots was not determined at
> the meeting but we propose one week, ending 1 July 1999,
> Thursday at 23:59 HST unless anyone objects.
> i) The votes will be tallied by Ron Willis and Joe Schuller
> independently, the results compared by them, any discrepancies
> resolved and the results announced by a public posting to
> the list by 3 July 1999, Saturday at 23:59 HST.
>
> Please note that the subject of this message contains the word "Draft".
> If there is no objection to my statement of the process, it will be
> reissued to the list with "Draft" replaced by "Approved" and the
> provisional deadline for ballot submission made official. If I've
> overlooked, misstated or otherwise botched it up or if anyone that
> wasn't at the meeting has objections, please state them to the list
> for quick discussion and resolution.

> Thanks,
