Dear AoIR-ists, In my note earlier today on the upcoming elections, etc., I neglected to make one very important point: our bylaws restrict voting in the elections to members of AoIR in good standing - namely, those who have paid their membership fee in the past year (this would automatically include anyone who registered for IR 9.0 in Copenhagen last October). So, if you're not a current member of AoIR, you are relieved of the responsibility and joy of voting ... if you are a member, I hope you're starting to study those candidate statements carefully, and perhaps are well on the way to crafting a sharp and insightful question to ask! many thanks, and cheers, - charles ess Institut for Informations- og Medievidenskab Helsingforsgade 14 8200 Århus N.
