I think we all would agree that doing it the easiest way is best. I like
the idea of conducting it on this list, no closed doors and everyone knows
what is going on. With my resignation, Nancy is now acting SC and should
be the one to institute roll call. Maybe we can just do this informally.
We all have seen Shirley's offer to serve as state coordinator, would
anyone else like to consider themselves for the positiion? Shirley has
prior experience in the office of which I can confirm. I think we would
all like to hear if someone else is considering the position.
If you don't speak up on the list, we won't know what you are thinking.

Nancy is correct. Without approved bylaws to cover things like an
election, the process can be handled by simple means. Karen probably should
call for a roll-call to confirm the CC's are aware of what is going on.
After the roll-call period, Karen, or someone she designates, can open the
nomination period for a set number of days and confirm the nominee's
acceptance or decline. The voting can be open on the mail list or private
to whoever is selected to handle the election. We can also ask for outside
help as members of other projects are usually willing to help with
elections. If the EC handles a state election, only registered voters are
allowed to vote just as in the USGenWeb elections.
These are only suggestions and I am sure there are others that would work
equally well.

I apologize for not covering Karen's back. It has been a very quiet year,
so much for that, now for the storm. Best wishes to Karen on addressing her
family concerns, which must take priority.
I do not have tech knowledge of value in this crisis, and have been one of
the holdouts that never wanted to have a separate domain anyway. That being
said, I urge our county coordinators to get involved and consider the best
options. Both Karen and my terms were up in November, I believe. but since
we never approved bylaws for a transition, it may be just as simple to
invite nominations on the mailing list and agree on what to happen next.
