Board members are not elected by the weighted ballot system so you should  
vote just for ones you want to see serve.  It is the judges ballot that is  
done by the weighted system and there 1st choice receives 3 pts, 2nd 2 pts, 
and  3rd 1 pt.

I have a  few concerns about the ballot tabulation and the candidates that 
are  listed.
I felt this would be a good time to bring this up while we are all  waiting 
for our "corrected" ballots.
If I understand the tabulation system  correctly, we are using the 
"weighted system" to determine the winning names?  Which would mean that if 
there 
are 7 positions that need to be voted on, you  would need to vote for 7 people 
in order for your fist choice to get the  highest allotted points. If you 
only vote for 3 people, what points do they  get?

In reality, doesn't this suggest that you really need to vote for  7 people?

Which brings me to my next concern; There are candidates  listed on the 
form yet there are bios missing for some of these people. Why is  this? Do 
these people feel there is no need for their bio, their name should  tell all? 
OR did they not have the time to prepare a bio? I would seriously  like to 
know why all candidates do not have a bio listed.

My last  concern: Based on the above, without bios and the need to vote for 
a certain  number of positions, doesn't this seem to force a member to 
choose their last  few positions by "THE NAME", something that has been a big 
discussion on here  over the years.

Some of "The Names" may be known in a particular  location of which they 
may be a member of the local regional club or some may  be more vocal on this 
list, but that doesn't mean that they are the right  person for the position 
or a judging assignment. 


So as a member,  how can I make what I feel, are good choices if all the 
bios are not listed  and how can I be assured that all my choices will carry 
the same  weight?

Thank you,
Lyn Chernak
