Hello all and sorry for top posting,

I motion to accept all 37 nominees into Charter Membership and
override the decision taken in the last board meeting.

My previous vote for 30 new members was not forecasting so many great
nominations - I thought that we would have 20ish nominations like last
year. I am impressed by the great contributions made by all 37
nominees, and wish to accept them all as Charter members.

I know it could be the second year we skip the election process, but I
take it as a friendly suggestion that the process needs to be
re-evaluated.

Kind regards,
Anne
