AoIR Elections: Voting commencing soon
Dear all
From 1 July for 30 days we will be closing off discussion in the election forums and asking for all members of AoIR to VOTE :). Please make sure that if you wish to vote and are not currently a member, you join now (your conference registration will be discounted and there are other benefits). Also, it's time to review the discussion in the AoIR election forums - http://forums.aoir.org - and make your decisions. You may vote for one candidate in each category of officer (Vice-Present, Secretary, Treasurer, Grad Student) and for three candidates for the open seats.
Shortly, I will let you know how to lodge your vote. Thanks Matthew Dr Matthew Allen Associate Professor Internet Studies Associate Dean Teaching and Learning, Humanities Curtin University of Technology, CRICOS 00301J Australia m.allen@curtin.edu.au http://smi.curtin.edu.au/netstudies/allen.htm +61 8 92663511 (v) +61 8 9266 3166 (f) Vice-President, Association of Internet Researchers http://www.aoir.org
A month is a really long time, even for an bleedin'-edge international research organization. Maybe the exec should consider discussion of tightening up the voting process a bit in the next year? suggestions abound, --elijah On Thu, 30 Jun 2005, Matthew Allen wrote:

FreeNet here holds votes over 15 days for BOD I think. I believe it used to be longer to get as many votes as possible.You can also change your vote up until the end. is it because the aoir is an Internet organisation that we vote on-line? or is it standard for all pro associations these days? ----- Original Message ----- From: "elijah wright" <elw@stderr.org> To: <air-l@listserv.aoir.org> Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2005 8:57 PM Subject: Re: [Air-l] AoIR Elections: Voting commencing soon

a month is a long time, but it is summer in the northern hemisphere and many people are away. this gives them time to maybe check their email while they are away, and decide to vote. besides, short times to vote are exclusionary. a month is accommodating. it also gives time for people like me ample opportunity to pursue the entertainment value of encouraging people to vote. it really is great fun.
