V. Election of the of the Board of Directors and substitute members

• We elect 3 board members this time.

• The three board members standing down are OliverKrueger, GeorgeClark and CrawfordCurrie (who were elected for a 2 year term)

Proposals for board members (if you do not accept, please use strike to remove yourself, so you don't get added again):

Proposee	Curriculum Vitae	Proposer
OliverKrueger	previous and good Board member - please, come again	MichaelDaum
GeorgeClark	previous and good Board member - please, come again	MichaelDaum
CrawfordCurrie	previous and good Board member - please, come again	MichaelDaum
LynnwoodBrown	Lynnwood is an experienced committee man, and should make a good board member, Plus more representation from outside of Europe is good.	CrawfordCurrie

For votes about people the vote should be anonymous to the degree it is practical. We will repeat the method from last year and simply send the votes by email to the two vote counters.

CrawfordCurrie and OliverKrueger crossed their name out - after 6 years, we feel a change is needed.
