Dear Roberto,<br class="">
<br class="">
thanks. That makes sense. I look forward to hearing from others
until Monday, at which point we'll make a choice. Since the vote is
open until Friday 15 December, if we were to re-launch the vote with
no restriction, we'd have ample time (5 days) to vote.<br class="">
Kindest regards,<br class="">

Olivier,
<div class="">I will stick, of course, with what will be decided
by the majority, but if we keep this limitation in the ballot
rather than to have it only for the resulting composition of the
Board I will find myself in the awkward situation of not being
able to vote for one of the candidates that I have nominated,
because they share the same nationality.
<div class="">Cheers,</div>

this is how we set it up in the last elections. We
decided to do the same thing, this time around, so as
to not confuse people. if there is support for not
having this rule at *voting* level, but just at
selection level, then I am ready to remove it.<br class="">
Does anyone else wish to have this rule removed at
voting level?<br class="">
<br class="">
Ie. voters can vote for anyone, but the composition of
the EURALO Board will take into account the "1 person

Good morning.
<div class="">I have a question.</div>
<div class="">I have read again the election rules
but have not found the limitation to vote for one
candidate per country. My reading of the rule is
that the resulting Board cannot have more than one
member per country, but this does not translate
necessarily in a limitation for the voters but
only in the result.</div>
<div class="">Can you please clarify?</div>
