I vote for option number 3 :P
Actually, I think the letter idea is a good one, thats the way VSMT
handles situations where people want to run for a board position but
can't be in attendance, and it has worked out well for us. I think we
really need a strong group at the elections, and having it on another
date would cause this to not be the case.
