[Advisors] Seeking your support -- CIRA elections

[Marita Moll]

Hello advisors. I am running for a second term on the CIRA board as one 
of the member slate representatives. There is only one position open 
this year. It is a 15 member board which includes experts from legal, 
financial, small business, registrars, and the IT community.   But the 
board also needs people in direct contact with representatives like the 
members of this list who are directly engaged in grassroots community 
initiatives.  I think that is an important perspective I can bring to 
the conversations.

I would also note that the Community Investment Program, after five 
years of operation, will be entering a thorough review period. There are 
many ways the fund could be realigned but I would be supporting a 
position that would see small community projects continue to be part of 
the funding envelope.

Yesterday those of you who are CIRA members (i.e. you have a .ca domain 
name and have applied for membership) will have received a message 
called "*support your nominees.*" This contains an ID and PIN that 
allows you to engage in this initial part of the election process. This 
is  a very important part of the process. A candidate must get 20 
supporters to stay on the list. At the end of the process the total 
number of supporters for each remaining candidate is posted. This has a 
very big effect on how the rest of the community votes. The support 
period continues until Sept. 13.

NOTE: If you are a member (or think you are) and did not receive the 
message called "support your nominees", please let me know. I can 
probably help.

Thank you for your time and I urge you to engage in the process.

Marita
