Dear GO::DH members, 

You are receiving this message as part of the 2017 referendum of the future of GO::DH. From discussions on the mailing list, two positions have emerged: the independence model for which Alex Gil and Roopika Risam have been advocating and the Baby and the Bathwater position articulated by Dan O'Donnell and 'Tunde Opeibi. You can re-read each position at the links below:

We are asking GO::DH members to vote in this referendum to share their thoughts on the future of GO::DH. In the ballot you will be receiving, you have the option for voting in favor of one of the two models above or an other option (you can write-in an alternative or just select "other"). 

The referendum will run between December 1st-8th, in every time zone. Thank you for voting and make your voice on the future of GO::DH heard. 

Sincerely,

Amy Earhart

GO::DH Executive Member
