</OL>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial">Please indicate (through the mailing list) if you have ACCEPTED/REJECTED the nomination. All of the above mentioned individuals I hope I reached all right.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial">If you would like to show your support for a particular candidate to help encourage them to be involved feel free to post an e-mail under this subject and add the ubiquitous +1 next to your picks. If you would like, e-mail me directly and I'll do some tallies for the next week or so and post back here to the list.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial">Also, if you know of someone that might be a good fit in the project steering committee please feel free to nominate them so they know the GRASS community is interested in having their involvement on the committee.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial">I would say at minimum we need 5 and can continue to hunt down and add people as we go. Although it would be great to have 9 (as above) or 11 (odds help with decision breakers).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial">Since I'd like all of these people involved I'll support all their nominations</FONT>
