In the recently concluded election, this resulted in
a fairly large number of members, including NCUC members, being declared Inactive. <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmHFgvYjF_e4dGIycFJVenFSak9ZWDdRdXVlNXdBV2c&usp=sharing#gid=0">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmHFgvYjF_e4dGIycFJVenFSak9ZWDdRdXVlNXdBV2c&usp=sharing#gid=0</a></div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>NCUC has never done a check-in, and has opted for simple majority votes instead. For example, last year 140 votes were cast, and one position was decided by a single vote <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind1212&L=NCSG-DISCUSS&F=&S=&P=14878">https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind1212&L=NCSG-DISCUSS&F=&S=&P=14878</a>. Which suggests a) we really should try to increase the overall voter turn out this year, and b) every vote
counts, so please participate. </div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>While we don't check-in, we do need to send to the GNSO Secretariat a list of eligible voters. <b>We must have your correct current email address in order for you to receive a ballot. </b>Tapani Tarvainen <<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:ncuc@TAPANI.TARVAINEN.INFO" target="_blank" href="mailto:ncuc@TAPANI.TARVAINEN.INFO">ncuc@TAPANI.TARVAINEN.INFO</a>> is maintaining our data base.
