[EURO-Discuss] the EURALO board

[Nick Ashton-Hart]

May I suggest, since several members of the community will be  
travelling and attending the San Juan meeting, that we give people a  
week at least to post nominations?

It would be good, I'm sure you'll agree, to have an election this  
time around that is uneventful. It would also be very helpful for  
staff resources, if there are more than just one candidate for each  
position, to have elections not start until after the San Juan  
meeting ends, rather than beginning in the middle of the meeting.
