Elizabeth,
I am not so sure that it is up to the national election committee to decide whether
archives volunteers who are not also CCs are eligible to vote. The by-laws say in
Article VII, section 6 that all members of the USGW Project are eligible to vote.
The question IS whether Archives people are members of the USGW Project. I notice
on the nomination page that we cannot vote for their representative to the Board.
Should they be voting for ours? Is there a mechanism in place to verify that
ballots only go to cc's?
Would you please raise these questions to the Board through your representative on
our behalf.

seems to me that it is up to the national committee to decide whether
archives volunteers who are not also CCs are eligible to vote or not. I
don't see that this is my decision to make.
