Hi Avri, I understand and respect your viewpoint and decision, even if it does not favor my vote count. However, I believe that it is not fair to other candidates, from an electoral viewpoint, for me to answer the last 3 questions during the voting period, specially that people can change their votes at will up to the last minute... quite an interesting voting practice, which I have never heard of before! (...and we vote often in Canada! :o) Alain On Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 11:29 AM, Avri Doria <[log in to unmask]> wro > Hi Alain, > > Answering the questions was voluntary, just posed by me in my Interim role > to try and make sure that people knew the positions of the people they were > considering for g-council and chair.
