There has been a lot of back and forth about what exactly is being
done wrong, or being done right, <br>
in this election process. In your appeal you write:<br>
<br>
<i>"Without any notice to the membership or the Executive
Committee, the NCSG Chair changed</i><i><br>
</i><i>the longstanding interpretation of the election rules,
causing confusion among the membership</i><i><br>
</i><i>once the ballot was released"</i><i><br>
</i><br>
I agree that there is much confusion so could you expand on your
appeal and spell out in a few words <br>
what exactly what the longstanding interpretation and what change
violated that interpretation. <br>
I am not asking about the merits of either approach, only for
clarity about the nature of the change. <br>
