[bestbits] Best Bits MAG nominations for your approval - URGENT

Wed Nov 20 09:59:09 EST 2013

Hello Everyone,

My name is on this list but I concur with Bill and Anriette that people
who have put in a lot of work and are familiar with the nuts and bolts
of the process should be re-nominated. A single term ain't enough for
them to extract the full potential of the process.
