on my calendar it's the 24th today. That is 23 days past the first and one day left<br>
into the voting deadline. To the latter: I, for one, take the liberty to exploit the<br>
full extent of the deadline the election committee came up with. I am also<br>
extremely sensitive to "public pressure", especially when it comes to elections.<br>
That links to the former: It truly puzzles me to see a request to a chapter<br>
to justify their vote (to other chapters), even if that is an abstention.<br>
There are several reasons to abstain and sometimes even a qualified abstention<br>
might have more value than a ballot cast under "pressure". I am pretty sure that several<br>
people on this list who are, sadly, much more qualified from personal experience<br>
than myself, would be able to share some depressing insight. Time to get a globe.<br>
