[Advisors] CIRA elections

[Marita Moll]

Hello advisors

Election time is coming around once again for the CIRA board of 
directors.  I have now spent one year on the Community Investment 
Selection Committee, a few months on the ISOC board, attended every 
public meeting CIRA has held in the last few years, and actively run as 
a candidate the last two years.  I think that puts me in a good position 
this year to have a serious crack at it.  But I will still really be 
needing all your support.  If you have a .ca domain name or are 
administering a .ca domain name, you can apply for membership and vote 
in this election in September.  But you must be a member by *August 26* 
to participate (new rules to satisfy the new Non-profit Corporations Act).

If you took out a membership before and still have the domain name, your 
membership should still be valid.  If you are not sure, please take a 
moment to check it out before Aug. 26.  You can check your member status 
in just a few seconds at this address:

It makes a difference to have some community members in all these 
Internet decision making places  (ICANN, ISOC, CIRA, etc.)  It is 
surprising sometimes how far away these bodies get from their base 
clientele (you and me) and start to live in their own hermetically 
sealed worlds.

Marita
