Well said Chris, and thanks for your continued efforts on behalf of the club.
We have two excellent candidates that deserve to be elected simply based on what they can offer the club.
Personally, I have no issue with the bylaws or nominating process. Since the intent of the nominating committee is to draw up a "recommended" slate, I would suggest that either the minutes of the meeting be made public or a representative be selected to explain the reasons for their selection given the deviation from normal practice.
This is in the interest of full disclosure so that voting members have all the information needed to make a selection. This should be no problem since presumably they acted in the club's best interest. The impact of this process on Graham is self-evident. I would also argue on Mike's behalf, that until this step is taken, his otherwise strong candidacy may be unfairly viewed with skepticism.
BTW, Welcome back Wellard! I too missed the sporadic lively debate. It was a nice reprieve from the drudgery of work. Did they just release you from GITMO?
I posted this after your reply- congratulations on the new arrival!
