Tina, Ed Book has long been known on USGENWEB-ALL as someone who provides thoughtful, and in my opinion very objective, analyses of the Project By-Laws. He seems well versed in Parliamentary Procedure. For the benefit of those who haven't been with the Project very long or who were not subscribed to USGENWEB-ALL in 1998 (not just Board members, but also anyone reviewing BOARD-L archives), the following list of messages from Ed Book are a good introduction to his qualifications and communication style: isearch file # 839 9/29/98 [USGENWEB-ALL-L] Re: Poss.

E.g., "board meeting in private" rather than "By-laws and board".) If anyone wishes, I can also personally forward any of the preceding messages. Teri Pettit pettit@adobe.com

I approve of your choice of nominee, Ed Book, for the position of Secretary.

I've known of Ed Book for the past couple of years, although I have never had any personal dealings with him. Based on what I know about him, I think he would be a good choice.

I believe you to be fair and impartial while standing up for what you believe in and therefore feel that you qualify for the position. Tim

I'm numbering the carrying out of Motion 99-25, vote upon a Secretary as 99-25-B. The floor is now open for discussion since there is a motion and a second. Tim

I move we approve Ed Book as the National Coordinators choice for Advisory Board Secretary. NOT PART OF THE MOTION: On a personal note, I would like to commend Tim on his choice.

I didn't really have to think too hard about this as this person's name was on my short list from the first. I've contacted my nominee and they have agreed to serve. I await your motion of approval for my nominee for Secretary, Ed Book. Tim

Tim, Could you tell us about Ed Book, and why he is your choice?
