Eric<br><br>You are nauseatingly tiring!<br><br>Do you have inside information that the extension will favour the amendment? How so? Why can it not favour the rejection of the amendment? There are lots of passive members on the list that the "No" block (if there is such a thing) could mobilise to reject the amendment. <br>
<br>There are bigger problems then extension of the polling period. So, instead of making it your life's ambition to reply to as many posts as possible to break down the cohesion of the list by disseminating your paralysing venom, please try and focus. <br>
<br>It is tiring posters like yourself that are bringing down the list as people avoid posting not to attract and have to deal with the diatribes by the likes of you and others of your coterie.<br><br>Enough said, and of course you have your right of reply, but I will withhold mine to reply to you.<br>

<div>This is fallacious. It favors the charter amendment without question. No votes no Charter amendment. There has been no indication of the problems/reasons you give. The problems and reasons you give were and are totally foreseeable in this age, yet they have not ocurred.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Did Avri and Derrick put their "consultations" in writing? Did they give general information or did they apply it to this case? Were these all done in private? Have the votes been in anyway tallied yet? Has their been a private petitioner asking in private to extend?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Ginger, I would hope the world is watching. I would hope we have an "impact" here. It is important to many people these things be done giving the utmost respect to decorum and openness and transparency. Our example can have a good or bad impact.<div class="im">

<div><font face="Arial">Dear Eric and all,<br><br>To ensure that this is proper election protocol, Ian and I consulted with Derrick Cogburn (votiing) and Avri (charter rules) who have assured us that in an email ballot, given problems of delivery, timing and technical problems, scheduling and time zones, this is perfectly appropriate in this case. It does not favor one side or the other, but gives all voters increased opportunity to participate at their convenience.<br>

<td style="font-family: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-stretch: inherit;" valign="top">This is bad protocal. Extending a vote so that you get a referendum of sorts is a tampering with the vote. If the amendment fails then it fails. It is not proper to change the rules in mid process.. Could you please site the authority for extending the or a vote.<br>

<div><font face="Arial">In order for a Charter amendment vote to be valid, we need almost every single voting member to exercise their right to vote. That means if you are not ill or without an Internet connection, we need you to vote. If you have not voted, please do so NOW. A charter amendment is designed to be a serious task. This requires the input of all members.<br>
<br>To facilitate your vote, we have now extended the voting process for another 10 days. Please vote now so that you do not forget!<br><br>Best,<br>Ginger<br><br><br></font></div><br>-----Inline Attachment Follows-----<br>
