                OK, the <u>S</u>ubject: is a too obvious joke
                considering the quality
                of performance by our hard working and esteemed
                co-chairs. But on
                behalf of the Appeals Team nominating Committee, I'm
                compelled to note:
                we're past the half-way mark for submitting nominations

                Appeals Team, <b>and not one name has been submitted!</b><br>
                <br>
                The important and engaging discussions on topics
                relating to the
                Internet's future provide a better excuses for the
                paucity of nominees
                than the traditional "the dog ate my paper." But the
                deadline for
                nominations is approaching - next Sunday, June 24, see
                details below -
                and we have a responsibility to have an Appeals Team.<br>
                <br>
                See the duties and qualification details below, and send
