We are confused at your confusion. Perhaps you failed to absorb the details: * the number of List members who are GSDCA members is completely irrelevant to this project. The Candidates project has nothing to do with threads, posts to the List, or to the numbers of List members who are membersof the GSDCA. * For the record, the List membership is a LARGE segment of the GSDCA membership, and an even larger segment of the active, voting segment of the GSDCA membership, which is why there has been so much campaigning on the List. * The questions and responses will NOT be on the List, the entire result,all questions and all responses from all candidates who participate will be collected and posted on the web site, with access limited to GSDCA members only - ALL GSDCA members will have access * a copy will also be offered to the GSDCA for posting in the secured area of the GSDCA web site The intention of this project is to provide a service to ALL GSDCA members who wish to view it, whether List members or not, and to do it in a RESPONSIBLE, FAIR AND INCLUSIVE WAY. Suggested questions or topics will be accepted from GSDCA members, for the use of ALL GSDCA members regarding the upcoming GSDCA election.. This will entail a great deal of time and work, and is being done to further the function Showgsd-l has always been dedicatedto provide - COMMUNICATION. Knowledge is critical to understanding. Please note that topics relating to the candidates and the election process remain closed to posting on the List.

I thought I read an email from the admin that all campaigning was a closed thread. Now the admin wants to do an interview? How many members of the GSDCA are on this List. How many on the List are nonmembers? Lew --- Links --- 1 mailto:showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
