Menou) Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2003 10:59:12 +0200 Subject: [Sigmed-l] ASIS&T 2003 election: Discussing the candidates' statements Message-ID: <314897921.20030825105912@wanadoo.fr> APOLOGIES for multiple posting Dear Colleagues For the 1st time in an ASIS&T election (as far as I know) members were invited to discuss the statements with the candidates. So far only 1 question was raised. This may be due to the vacation period or the unfortunate collapse of the lists right after the call was sent. May be some members did not receive or notice the call which is reproduced below. Even though about half of the voting period is already over, there is still time for a fruitful exchange. Members' participation is a key objective in the candidates statements especially for me. I look forward to seeing a healthy exchange in the coming days. Sincerely Michel SP I'll be travelling from Sept. 5 thus may not be in a position to reply after that date. > =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= > From: Richard Hill > To: election 03 > Date: Monday, July 21, 2003, 10:27:21 PM > Subject: ASIST&T 03 Election Discussion > --====----====----====----====----====----====----====----====----====----===-- > Dear ASIS&T members > > The statements of the candidates for President-elect and > Director-at-Large have been posted on the ASIS&T web site at > and you should be > receiving the ballot form and materials soon. > > The election of officers is not only an opportunity to select > individuals but also a chance for the membership at large to express > its views and options for the future development of our society.
