[NCSG-EC] Fwd: PLEASE READ: NCPH election for Board seat 14

[Stephanie E Perrin]

I need to consult you guys, then we (csg and ncsg) need to set up an 
election, where we pick someone to vote for us, and if we get two votes 
for Matthew (ie each side votes for him) we tell staff and Council he is 
our nominee.  It seems a bit clumsy but since we have had a meltdown in 
the past, we needed procedures....

I presume staff will set up that election for us, will ask Carlos Reyes 
who is now in charge of our policy support, not Mary Wong.

cheers Steph

PS Dean Marks is doing the same thing with the CSG guys.
