Why are two vacancies being filled in the SE/MA region, when only one vacancy exists? I tried getting an answer to this in private e-mail, but I am being stonewalled.

Bettie Wood was elected as a SE/MA rep on the EC. She still has a year to go in that position. You can look it up at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgwelections/current.html Is Bettie moving to the SW/SC region, or is she going to take the archives/special projects position that comes vacant on Dec 31? Apparently there were no volunteers for the archives position. Or there was only one volunteer for the SW/SC region. I am confused, not sure anyone else is.

Whenever the AB is asked to approve a slate of candidates and they are listed as to the positions they will fill, the AB is not approving the candidates to switch positions in mid-stream. They are approving a specific person for a specific seat. Perhaps the 1 year terms can be explained by resignation, which would not necessarily be something the AB would need to know, but as a matter of courtesy should know. If Nola Duffy is Bettie Woods' replacement, then it must be assumed that Bettie has given up her seat on the EC. BUT, if she is expected to serve in the SW/SC region, why isn't her name on the slate of candidates that has been presented to the AB? She would qualify as a replacement candidate and possibly could serve a two-year term in one of the SW/SC region's seats. Which could bring about a flap over whether or not the EC Procedures were intended to be such that no one would serve three consecutive years EXCEPT the first go 'round when terms needed to be evened out into a two-year rotating pattern.
