Re: jax@well.sf.ca.us (Jack J. Woehr)

 > No hearing, as promised by Dennis Ruffer

I don't remember promising Jax, but I did ask for for you to be heard. 
However, we had already heard your opinion (from your postings) and it is not
as if we kicked you out of FIG (which would require a hearing).  All we did
was vote to terminate the appointment that we had given you earlier.

 > the WHOLE BOARD is going up for election

Not quite Jax.  Jack Brown and Mike Elola's terms have not expired yet and
they will be continuing their positions.  John Hall, Wil Baden, Robert Smith
and my own 3 year positions are over at the end of this year, and Terry Sutton
has already resigned (she just got married and didn't have enough time any
more).  Since there would be 5 vacancies at the end of this year, the
elections would have been held anyway.  All I have done is suggest that we ask
the FIG members to submit petitions and tell them what it takes to have have a
ballot of the members.  The full details will appear in the July/August issue
of Forth Dimensions and I will open up the discussions on the Net soon.  In
the mean time, the nominating committee has been formed, consisting of Jack
Brown and Mike Elola, and they are in charge of the process.
