I wasn't aware that he was a write-in. My apologies to the board. It's frankly very hard for me to keep track of our procedures as we develop them and announce them on the fly. We're moving fast.<BR>

The problem isn't that he is from the mapguide community. The problem is<BR>
that he wasn't in the nomination list. This raises the question of<BR>
whether votes for folks not on the nomination list are allowed.<BR>
<BR>
I am ok with allowing them, but I wish I hadn't been blindsided by the issue.<BR>
But we (as a board) need to decide. If you were all 5 votes for him,<BR>
then we could drop him based on your decision.<BR>
<BR>
I also don't mind if we as a board agree that write-in's were ok.<BR>
<BR>
best regards,<BR>
