This should be at pab.gtld-mou.org, but if this way is faster....
BTW, I suggest that you explain in the mail how voting will work. At list I
would like the following items included.
* Posts to be filled with the related nominees.
* Where to find their bios/statemnts (already included in your mail)
* Schedule for voting
* How many calls for votes will be issued, and when.
* How to vote (replying to a call for votes; later votes overrule prevous;
votes will be made public)
This is a mail directed to people that apparently don't have the time ,
energy, or willingness to foloow the list regularly. So let's spare them still
some extra time ;-)
