Nomination and voting rules for GLLUG elections

* Only gllug members[1] may participate.
* We have three elected positions (we can change this though)

President
1.  Official contact for the group to the outside world
2.  Final decision maker for things like meeting nights, meeting topics, etc.
3.  Other misc stuff that would not ordinarily be taken care of.

Secretary
1.  Organizing meetings, taking role, notes, minutes

SysAdmin
1.  In charge of www.gllug.org (which is now GLLUG property)
2.  (other?  The GLLUG mailing list is not handled directly by the group)

* Nominations will take place via public GLLUG list email.  Please 
nominate one person for each position.  Each position must be 
seconded by another indivudual.  You may nominate but not second 
yourself.  Anyone nominated who would like to run for the position 
must publically accept before voting takes place.  After 7 days, actual 
voting will take place.

Nominations:  August 28 Thru September 4 via GLLUG list
Voting:  September 5 Thru September 12 via *private* email.

During the voting period, send your vote email to "agarris@voyager.net"
only!  I will do my best to send a confirmation email back to you 
indicating that I did receive your vote.

* Voting will take place via private email, or by other special means 
only if a member would like to vote but cannot use email for whatever 
reason.  Someone will have to act as the vote collector for this (I 
can do it assuming I'm still in town).  After 7 many days, the voting 
will cease and the results will be announced via email and at the next 
GLLUG meeting.  New positions will take effect at the next meeting.

[note:  Since I (Alan) is moving out of state fairly soon, I of course 
cannot accept any nominations for any positions]
