In 2012 the cycle commenced 15 October and concluded 30 November, but last year the scheduling of the annual meeting Buenos Aires made us push it back to 6 November - 17 December, with results announced the 18th. This year’s annual in LA was also a bit ill-timed in terms of trying to do an October boot-up, hence we need to scurry a bit now.</div></div><div><div><div><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"> </div></div><div><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">The standard deal is 3 two week chunks, easiest done Monday-Sunday, so I suggest the following:</div></div><div><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"> </div></div><div><div><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">November 3 - 16: Nominations submitted to ncuc-discuss </div></div><div><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">November 17 - 30: Candidates submit statements to ncuc-discuss </div></div><div><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">December 1 − 14: Election period </div></div><div><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">December 15: Results announced</div></div></div><div><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"> </div></div><div><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">I can’t really imagine another timeline to do this and the antique bylaws just dump the process in the chair’s lap (to the extent that they say anything at all about the election’s conduct), but please let me know ASAP if you have any concerns, otherwise I'll send an announcement to the members’ list tomorrow. We really should allow a week before the nomination start.</div></div><div><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"> </div></div><div><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">The biggest hassles here involve determining voter eligibility, making sure everyone gets ballots, and related mechanical stuff.
