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