BritDisc, may I ask how we are supposed to make a choice if there is no discussion whatsoever on the list about the election?
1) It would be helpful to have the picture of the people running for election on the website. I have probably met most of them, but I can't associate names and faces. 2) It would be nice that for each candidate there was at least one email criticising why one should vote or not vote for him or her. 3) Could the candidates be more explicit about what they think is wrong in the way UKUA is now and what they want to do to improve it? and, if they are running for reelection, what have they achieved so far? 4) Why does the election takes place now? We are in the middle of the winter season and lot of people are on holiday and can't check their email regularly. Would not around September-October be a better time? Between the end of the summer season and the start of the winter season. Just some thoughts... happy holidays -daniel On Fri, 2003-12-19 at 16:04, UK Ultimate wrote: > Dear UKUA Member, > > You are receiving this mail because you have registered on the UKU Association > website (www.ukultimate.com). > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > ELECTIONS FOR THE 2004 BOARD > As you know voting is now open for the 2004 Board. > > THIS IS A REMINDER FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVEN'T VOTED, TO VOTE! > > You can read the candidates manifestos and get your ballot form at: > www.ukultimate.com/elections/2004/ > It will only take a few minutes of your time. > > > The closing date for completed forms (by email or post) is the 31st December, 2003. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > 'VIRTUAL' AGM > > This is a reminder of the 'Virtual' AGM, the aim of which is to give all members an > opportunity to raise any issues you feel should be brought to the attention of the > new Board.
