Yes, and i would be happy to see the incumbents renominated, they just have not indicated within my hearing or reading that they want to be yet. I know this produces a flurry of email. but I love the life and enthusiasm it shows and these events are only time some of our members send a message. Some excitedly cheering one, and some complaining about the cheering. It is a ritual of the NCSG, and one of its endearing qualities. Personally I would like to see more email, more discussion, on this list. And I think +1 are great. they are like those head noddings and yeps we all do when we are in a physical space together. avri
