Caryl, I'm really sad you are not directing the committee's time table and activities, like last year. We should all thank you for your hard work. I'm also sorry you had no time to move forward with the funding activities, you promoted early this year. I agree and I hope everyone (every year)

Not sure what you are trying to say. Even after living, studying and working in the US (thank you Fulbright Schoolarships!) I still fail to understand how US citizens understand and act upon democracy :D I guess having a standar and logical caledar for every year's election will make this easier

I would assume they do wish to stand for re-election. The publicity on this has been terrible. I don't know who is in charge, but they should have made sure they sent several reminders of deadlines to file for candidacy. In fact, was there ever an announcement sent out to all of the membership

I'm not a big fan of this idea. The SLOBs already seem to have some capital. But they seem to be scared to spend it. How much arguing have we done over the translation co-ordinator position? Something like a translation position would be great, but nobody has seemed to actually do anything
