I was under the impression that the Executive Committee had agreed to electronic balloting. See part of the Minutes on top of page 9 in the Agenda Book. If Council passes the petition, we need to change our by-laws, an action already ready for vote at the EC. See page 44 in the Agenda Book. And I urge all to read all the other changes in preparation for discussion in Philadelphia. I am in favor of electronic balloting. My greatest concern is the FAQ: _____________________ Will voting over the Internet discourage members who are more comfortable voting by mail? Elections will be conducted via "hybrid" methods, combining mail and Internet voting. Members will therefore have a choice, voting either by the mail ballot or over the Internet. ____________________ This will require some discussion on procedures. Further, I don't know the percentage of members who voted in the last election, but my feeling is that percentage will decrease if members have to log on to the Internet. Food for thought. Eileen
