III. Business of the Day � Officer nominations and elections

B. Cornell suggested they move the entire meeting into “executive session.” There was some discussion about what type of meeting this would be, and whether or not guests would be allowed to stay. B. Cornell asked what was done last year, and A. O’Donnell said the recorder was used, but turned off when the candidates left the room, so the discussion was kept confidential. P. Korolov made a motion to do the same process this year and turn the recorder off during the discussion about the candidates. I. Mahler seconded. The membership voted in favor of this 8 yes, 1 no, 1 abstain. A. Mittman was absent from the meeting, and did not send in an absentee ballot.

B. Cornell then turned the facilitation of the officer elections over to P. Korolov.

P. Korolov explained how the election process would go, then answered a few questions from the members to clarify the process. P. Beach suggested that where there is only one candidate, the other assemblies vote by acclamation, so they may want to do that also.
