[mdlug] MDlug January meeting

[Tony Bemus]

The January meeting will be the elections!

Nominations will be herd at the meeting and also through this mailing list.  

Just remembered the nomination needs to be seconded and the nominee must accept the nomination.  

I also suggest that nominees to review the bylaws for the job descriptions before accepting.

    Also for Elections we do accept proxy votes as long as I am notified ahead of time.

For the Nominations and the elections here is the section from the
bylaws.(http://mdlug.org/bylaws.html  

VII. NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES
     A. Nomination of candidates for office shall be made any time prior
to the election, including at the meeting. All nominations must be
seconded (the nominee is not eligible to second themselves) and the
nominee must accept the nomination to be a candidate. Nominees need not
be present at the election.


VI. ELECTIONS
    A. MDLUG shall hold an annual election in January, performing such
business as required herein. The Secretary shall have supervision and
management of all elections.

    B. Officers shall be elected at a regular meeting of MDLUG by the
attending members. The attending members may cast votes for themselves

the form of an email. The Secretary shall note the name of the member
