<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Election Committee and Board Members,</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Thank you for attending and supporting the Town Hall meeting on the Election Process. Special thanks to Simon, Mark and Monty for getting up in front of our audience. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Turn out was light for the Town Hall session. At the peak I counted 38, with 8 of those were board members. The audience was mostly composed of the individuals that have been commenting on the
mailing lists. This suggests that we have much work to do to reach and educate the electorate. We received feedback that follow up education via IRC chat sessions would be a good measure. The attendees also felt that we should be bringing forward a single
suggestion to be voted on as a bylaws change as opposed to a menu of options. If we accept this feedback, the board will need to make a selection and not offer a slate of options. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Some committee members have suggested that maybe we are trying to move too fast. To move this along, 2/3 of the board will need to approve a modification, and then a majority vote on a turn out
of 25% of the membership to approve it. We possibly need to first address the voter participation level necessary to pass a bylaws change. We certainly need to do more education and discussion with the members and gauge interest in the topic. We need to
arrange the IRC discussions over the next several weeks. I would welcome recommendations on times and dates where board members could also participate.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Thanks again. </span><br>
