Hi Avri et al, Is there anything else we as individual members can do to encourage people to vote? I'm not familiar with the membership rolls, but 27% turnout seems very low. I would be happy to work on contacting people directly by email if that would help. Or, are the details of the charter beyond people's time & resources to absorb? If there was a case for a highlights plus 'advantages & disadvantages', and enough time to do it, I could volunteer to draft. Apologies for jumping in at the last minute, but if there is anything practical I can do to improve turnout, I'm in. cheers, Maria On 25 May 2010 13:48, Alex Gakuru <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hello, > > I hope Mr. James Wire (from Uganda), Madam Dorothy Gordon (Ghana) and > Mr. Zain Khan (Canada) cast their ballots? among others.. > > kindly, > > Alex > > On Tue, May 25, 2010 at 5:58 PM, Avri Doria <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Just got an update from the folks in Brazil running the vote on the > charter. > > > >> > >> - less than 27% of voters have voted so far > >> > >> - everyone should have received an automatic email from > >> <[log in to unmask]> with a personalized URL to vote > >> > >> - a second reminder from the voting system (sender: <[log in to unmask]>) > >> has just been sent to all members who have not yet voted > >> > >> - if you have not voted, please do so now! > > > > If you feel you should have received a ballot and didn't please let me > know. > > > > For any new members - you did not receive a ballot as the vote is only > for those who had been members before the vote was initiated. > > > > a. > > >
