I was under the impression that the Executive Committee had agreed to
electronic balloting. See part of the Minutes on top of page 9 in the Agenda Book.
If Council passes the petition, we need to change our by-laws, an action
already ready for vote at the EC. See page 44 in the Agenda Book. And I urge all
to read all the other changes in preparation for discussion in Philadelphia.
I am in favor of electronic balloting. My greatest concern is the FAQ:
_____________________
Will voting over the Internet discourage members who are more
comfortable voting by mail?
Elections will be conducted via "hybrid" methods, combining mail and
Internet voting. Members will therefore have a choice, voting either by
the mail ballot or over the Internet.
____________________
This will require some discussion on procedures. Further, I don't know the
percentage of members who voted in the last election, but my feeling is that
percentage will decrease if members have to log on to the Internet.
Food for thought.
Eileen
