I support this as well.

Also, I went through the email list and noticed that a lot of people  
have never bothered to add their real names to their subscriptions.   
My assumption is that 'members f he igc' are people with names and not  
just email addresses, I think that it is in keeping with the idea of  
one person one vote that voters have names and aren't just addresses  
that could be forwarding lists for all anyone really knows.

Just to outline what I did last time for the election for the current  
coordinators.  I went through the list, and added all the names I knew  
either because I knew them personally or because I was able to find  
some email from them in the archives that had a name attached.  I also  
asked everyone to use the address they get when I sent out a reminder  
from the email list, like I am about to do, to log into the system and  
add their real name to the record.

After that was done and some time had gone by, i then put together the  
list of potential voters - those who had names, and sent them  
instructions on the voting procedures.  I also sent a message to the  
main list indicating what I done and suggesting that anyone who  
thought they should have received the vote mailing should let me know  
so we could fix things.

Once the voters list had some time for people to confirm they were on  
it, assuming they wanted to be, the voting was then done through the  
other list.

I am assuming we can do something similar this time, if we want.  By  
accepting Adams suggestion there is time to do this.  I have already  
offered to help with the mechanics of the election and will help do  
this this, if this is what we end up doing.

cheers
