Tom, I do regret that Gail's bio was not included, and I think requiring
bios with applications to run is something we should consider. At this
pointthere's nothing we can do about it - maybe next year. Cyndy

If I were making proposals, I would suggest that we change the P&P to read
that all bios MUST be included on the ballot, and I would make someone
responsible for that, even if the bio had to be dictated over the telephone
at the last
minute. Gail suggested that her own computer problems may have been the
reason her bio was left off, and I have not blamed anyone for that, but I do
believe that Gail is at a distinct disadvantage in this election because
Ken's bio
is on the ballot and her's isn't. Folks seem to think that this list is a
source of information for all GSDCA members. The truth is, the membership
total
of this list is less than half the GSDCA's, and when I was an administrator
(from day one until last year) it was not uncommon to see only five or six
hundred lis ters set to receive mail. Given the recent volatility of the
list, I
would not be surprised to learn that even more people are set to vacation
right
now.
Gail took responsibility for her bio not being included with the ballot. She
is obviously a class act and I very much respect the fact that she has taken
the high road throughout this election. I am only questioning the process
because giving as much information as possible to all of the voters is vital
to
their making an informed choice. Our candidates do not have many options to
get
their views heard by all of the membership. We should take extraordinary
steps to make sure that the bare minimum, the bio, is always included. Make
it a
rule. Fine the candidate if they do not submit a bio if you must. Just make
sure the voters have information to make good choices.
