[PC-NCSG] board candidate

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

I was just trying to be amenable. And just because I am fine with 
something doesn't mean anything.

You know  "play along to get along," my new motto.

I am fine with us not offering a candidate.  I agree, if they are voting 
as a block it is a farce.  So why play?

But then you said what we did last year was fine.  So they announced that they will again nominate one, vote as a directed bloc, and Bill?s their guy.  So at this point, it is mathematically impossible for an NCSG candidate to beat him, which sort of raises the question of why both voting, but whatever.  So our choices now are either a) one or more of the NCSG councilors vote for their candidate, or b) none of them do?not sure what the bylaws say if no candidate gets 8.
