want to believe that  as you have rightfully pointed  out that its
just but a formatting issue , we are better placed to sort out that
,i undertake to rectify that ASAP !Meanwhile i would i urge everyone
to torn down n not let emotions get the better of us on things that
can be reslved amicably by the team ,it falls within our mandate
to ensure a fair uncontested elections.

 David,

 I agree. Isaac you should conform to the existing norms like all of us did.

 So when is the team officially telling us who will be voting and the
 voting criteria and how the voting process is going be like?

 Great, looking forward to it.

 A small observation, the bios page has 7 candidates, I would like to
 request Isaac to remove his bio from the top of the page since he was
 among
 the last ones to post his bio, let Ann's which was the first to be posted
 remain on top.

 I know this is simply a formatting issue but to me, it goes back to
 portray
 other values in a person. It can easily be translated as self appointed
 dominance, which is not fair or democratic and is not a leadership value.

 Hello Everyone,

 So yesterday, the Electoral team met finalize on the arrangements for the
 forthcoming board elections to be held on Saturday, 31st March - 2012.
 Below are the key
 points to note -:

 1. The elections date remains as announced earlier on, 31 - 03 - 2012,
 beginning from
 12 noon.

 2. Voting by Proxy still allowed in any case need might be. The person
 who
 wants
 to vote by Proxy has to therefore mention his proxy before the due date
 and
 send them with the necessary requirements for the voting process.

 3. All contestants registered will be allowed to take part as candidates.
 No one
 will be disqualified as far as eligibility is concerned for their
 candidature, unless
 otherwise proven!

 4. For the Q  A session, the electoral team welcomes all questions
 starting
 today, an official compilation of the questions will be sent out today as
 well.
 The session will run through Thursday till Friday.

 5. Friday is a 'Free Day'!  We'll be taking any views and comments with
 regards
 to the Elections process!

 Lastly we'd like to invite everyone to come and be part of this Great
 History in the
 making, 'The First Board Elections - WMKE Chapter' !

 Warm Regards,

 //Cliff

 Hi guys
 
 The nairobi skuls idea is great. Lets just give them what is available
 now, we can always upgrade it when the kenyan version is out. I am
 sure it will help them lotz.

Hi Gerrard,
Your assumption is flawed: we've called a number of schools that we had 
installed the offline Wikipedia and the feedback that we got was that the 
content wasn't relevant. This is why we are working on a Kenyan version, 
because we don't want to repeat past mistakes.
David, 
I agree with Stephen and think that you should consider hosting us after the 
Berlin meeting (probably on the weekend after Easter?). It could also act as a 
get-together for us to hear Stephen's and Alex's experience at the Chapters 
Meeting. Thanks for the offer :-)
