> Hi Christian,

> Yes, the obvious question is how we track the attendees ...
>
> In all the chapter meetings, an attendance sheet is circulated, so
> that all those who are physically present can mark their attendance.
> The General Secretary then enters the attendance of all those who are
> participating "online". At the end of the year (in December), the
> General Secretary compiles the attendance data from the signed
> attendance sheets, and then provides the eligible voting members list
> to the election committee. The signed attendance sheets are always
> available as a proof IF the election committee wants to verify the
> voters list.
>
> As per our bylaws, this is not only required for the voters, but also
> for all the candidates, for all chapter positions. Again this helps us
> to have office bearers being elected from the active members only.
>
> This system is working for us (at least for the time being) ...

> Dear all,

> when it comes to the forthcoming elections, our chapter has in the past

> better idea of the candidate the Chapter should support.

> We do not charge fees and have over 3000 "members" both in the UK and
> abroad. I use the quotation mark because the membership is listed on the
> Internet Society AMS system, as people who are interested in the UK
> Chapter's activities.
>
> Recently the question arose in our chapter as to who were our Chapter's
> electorate. Is it the 3000+ names listed in the AMS system? Some might
> say that it is not, since these names are unverified. Half of these
> names are based abroad. So, if your chapter is without paid members, how
> do you define your Chapter's electorate?

> Kindest regards,
