I completely agree. Get those BALLOTS returned. I hope that the Canadians 
are starting to get their Ballots and willExpress mail them back. Morgan

is? The Membership, the Board, the Executive Committee, The Ballot Company,
The U.S. Postal Service, The Canadian Postal Service, The AKC, the one armed
man, some of the above, all of the above, none of the above ,etc., etc. I
think not!
Yes we are all human and we all make mistakes however, after three (3)
botched elections in six (6) consecutive years, is there any chance that we 
can
get it right this decade? The answer in no if we continue to make excuses
without addressing the problem.
Proper Planning Prevents Poor Presentation!

First of all, Randy, I don't see how we can blame the Corresponding
Secretary for the following reasons:

1. We hire an election company to administer the election. The election
company should be aware of postal regulation changes which resulted in the
returned ballots. We hire an election company and trust them to do their
job. The Corresponding Secretary proofs the ballots and the envelop, but if
I understand her correctly, she was given a proof of the front and not the
back. Even if she would have previewed the back, there's no way she would
have known about the brand new postal codes.

2. The ballots were scheduled to go out at the end of August, and were
delayed because the AKC required changes in the wording of the bylaw
revisions. It was the AKC that was slow on this, not the recording
secretary, and it was not her decision to delay the ballot to get those
bylaw changes in.

3. As for the bios included or not included, each candidate is responsible
for submitting a bio and are reminded several times to do so. Gail said
publicly on the list that it was not Sharon's fault, we should accept that.


4. Don't blame Sharon for Margy's email. That was MARGY'S email.

The officers and board members are VOLUNTEERS and HUMANS. I think sometimes
we forget that.

At this point I don't think it's necessary to call in the AKC, I think that
Margy and others have suggested reasonable solutions to the problem, and I
encourage everyone to continue to mail in their votes. If you wait to see
what decision is made by the board, it will be too late to mail your ballot.

Cyndy
