Dan Absolutely you should vote..! The U2UG is best served through its relationship with Rocket, so there is nothing to prevent members from Rocket from voting, standing or otherwise contributing. In fact, the more the merrier.
(We do have Rocket U2UG members - though many haven't updated their email addresses from the IBM days so will have had their membership paused - otherwise we run foul of the anti-span people over here by having too many bounces when the newsblasts go out). And Wol is right, the main requirements for someone standing for elections are a) that they are/have been for a period a U2UG member at the time of their nomination and b) that they disclose their interests. So in the unlikely event that Larry Ellison signed up and wanted to stand - we feel the membership ought to be told. There's lots more stuff about that in our charter, which is available to view on the website. And regarding your questions, the board has been discussing pretty much exactly those same questions (and more) over the last month leading up to putting together our program for next year.. so any thoughts you or any other members may have would be welcomed. The U2UG is not a secret organisation and we(*) genuinely welcome contributions and ideas from everyone. Brian (*)That's "we", if I get re-elected, or "they", if I don't. Glutton for punishment. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
