Jennifer, I'm sorry if Steve's post doesn't sit well with you. Yes it isn't something that has been done in the past, is quite different and should indicate there are SAC members willing to serve. Often times, more often than not, it has been quite difficult for the outgoing board to fill vacancies, which made me feel satisfactory with the post.
I have no interest in running for any office, and so my comments are strictly that of an outside observer, who is also a member, for this year at least. While the justification for this procedure seems to be an ongoing difficulty of filling vacancies, I notice that at least two of the nominees are very-very long time members and previous office holders, and probably board members. If it is true that it is difficult to find office holders, then it must be in the sense of 'impossible' to justify this procedure Jennifer has questioned. If it is that difficult, then I have to wonder about the long term viability of SAC, as well as the capability of SAC to change and evolve over time. Alternatively, perhaps the procedure Jennifer refers to is flawed and maybe this is why members cannot be found to hold office.
My two cents worth, and only two cents because I don't know how the current list was put together, or what the regular procedure is.
