Here's another one for submission, Chris. It (almost) negates the previous one. I don't think it would hurt a bit if they both were to run in the same issue.

Thanks.

Re: ZEC / RC Election
St: Local Sent

From the ZEC echo:

Last week I cross posted a message here (and in many other places) which I had originally written to the RECs of Zone 1. The message instructed them to:

"... conduct a survey of their respective Regions to determine if they, the Regions, would prefer either another (ZEC) election being conducted or an affirmation and acceptance of my willingness to serve another term (as ZEC)."

I asked them to come back to me with one of the following 2 statements;

My Region would like an election to be conducted =or= My Region would like you to stay on for another term.

I set the earliest date for replies to Mar. 24 and required that they survey their Regions.

Shortly before I wrote the above message I had been nominated to run for the postion of Region Coordinator of Region 19. I accepted the nomination. Knowing my own schedule committments I felt that I could handle both positions without allowing them to interfere with each other. However, there is something that I failed to consider and that is that I owe my Region more than just a part time committment as their Region Coordinator.

I have been a member of Region 19 for about 9 years. The Region has been good to me, supporting me in all of my campaign bids including 2 terms as their REC, through the past ZEC election, as well as the current REC polling process.

Region 19 is about to lose on of the best Region Coordinators that it has ever had, James Ray. Jamey (:-)) has served 2 outstanding terms as R19C but has decided to allow his family to get to know him for a while :-) Had it not been for James' decision to "retire", I would never have accepted the nomination for R19C.

In order to afford my Region the attention it deserves, I have decided to cancel what's come to be known as the "vote of confidence" and will begin organizing an election for the postion of Zone 1 EchoMail Coordinator. I will not be one of the candidates.

If the Region allows me the honor of serving as its Coordinator I will do my best to follow in James Ray's footsteps. We have worked very well together through the years and he has set an excellent example for his successor.

AllTheBest,
Bruce
