The exact question is Are you in favor of holding an election every two years for state coordinator?

Hi, I have been informed that Lee King is the only nominee for SC. Unless someone has objections the EC representatives suggests Lee be declared the winner and I agree. As for the question concerning a two year SC voting option, please contact Greta (bluebear@new.rr.com) or Bev (bbeegle@huntel.net) with your opinion. For my part I think this option should always be available. Thanks Joe

Hey all -- notice the pretty state flower on the main page? Joe photographed that and uploaded it. Beautiful, huh? ~Lee

Hi Greta, Thanks for asking, I was beginning to wonder as I have seen nothing about the election since Joe posted originally. I think perhaps extending the nomination period is the fair thing to do.

Hello North Dakota, I must apologize to you first. I made a mistake in addressing my first messages to you, but when they bounced, I resent them with the correct address (I thought). Apparently some or all of you did not receive them, however. I'm truly sorry for any confusion or inconvenience that has caused you. Let's start over. :) The nomination period for you was supposed to end tonight, June 30 at 9 pm CDT. I'm going to extend it until 9 pm CDT on Wednesday, July 7th. You may nominate yourself or anyone on the ND mailing list (see below) by emailing Bev Hopkins (bbeegle@huntel.net) or me (bluebear@new.rr.com). The names of nominators will remain confidential. Only a few members of the Election Committee will ever know who nominated whom. I will post the names of nominees as soon as they have accepted (or declined) the nomination. Currently we have received one nominee Lee King, who accepted the nomination. From July 8-14 the nominees will have time to post information about themselves and their plans for North Dakota if they are elected. Other members of the list will have an opportunity to ask the nominees questions, either privately or on the list. You'll be able to vote from 9 AM CDT on Thursday, July 15 through 9 PM CDT on Wednesday, July 28. In addition to voting for SC, you will also be asked to vote yes or no to the question: Are you in favor of holding an election every two years for state coordinator?" The new SC will take office immediately after the election results are confirmed and will continue through January 2006 if the voters approve a two year term for the SC. Please feel free to email Bev or me with any questions you have. I'm sure that Joe Zsedeny will also be glad to answer your questions.

In case you did not receive my earlier message about this: Lee King has accepted a nomination for North Dakota SC. As of this morning, June 30, she is the only nominee. Greta bluebear@new.rr.com

There is some question about whether you've been receiving my emails. Would you please let me know if you haven't? If that's the case, we'll extend the nomination period I describe below by a few days and begin voting later.

The Board has directed the EC to conduct the election of a new SC immediately. I have been notified by the EC of a proposed schedule for the election to which I agreed and it is as follows: June 24 - 30, nominations July 1 - July 7, campaigning July 8 - 22, voting Don't get excited about the campaign part as I would not expect anything more than a candidate answering whatever questions are posed. I have subbed two EC members to this list, Greta Thompson and Bev Hopkins for the duration of the election to answer any technical questions that you may have. I have asked the EC to pose this question to you: "Are you in favor of holding an election every two years for state coordinator?". If the majority votes yes the EC will put it on their schedule. I will immediately turn the SC position over to the new SC upon final certification of the winner by the EC. This is our chance to have a new revitalized NDGenWeb responsive to both you as CCs and to researchers. I urge everyone to participate. Joe
