Elections and the like
by Dan O'Donnell 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

Hi all, A repeat of my last: we need to run board elections. Could I have a volunteer to act as returning officer and nomination person? I can't, as I am a candidate. In Lyon we discussed getting things back on track. Now's our chance. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Chair and CEO, Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org/) Founding Director, Digital Medievalist Project (http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/) Chair, Electronic Editions Advisory Board, Medieval Academy of America Vox: +1 403 329-2377 Fax: +1 403 382-7191 (non-confidental) Home Page: http://people.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell/
