Third Quarter
Report of the Election Committee 2006
TO: National Coordinator
and Advisory Board, USGenWeb
FROM: USGenWeb Elections
Committee
SUBJECT: EC REPORT THIRD
QUARTER 2006
DATE: October 5, 2006
JULY 2006
Voting was delayed six
days due to a technical problem out of the control of
the EC.
Passwords were mailed
on July 6, for voting beginning 7 July. Voting was
scheduled to continue
through August 4th.
There were 80 bounces
from the 1948 password mailings. Many where what the
EC terms "chronic" bounces,
i.e. members who had bounced previously on two
or more occasions. Two
members reported receiving two passwords, and one
member received several
duplicate password notes. The errors were quickly
corrected.
Due to a coding problem,
voters in the NENC region experienced problems when
voting for the two CC
rep seats. The code was corrected on Monday after the
election started. The
votes cast before the error was corrected were not
recorded, for those who
received the error message. Those members were
instructed to return
to the ballot and vote again. No double votes were
included in the totals.
July 11 - The membership
list containing 2207 names was prepared for the
July Newsletter. There
were 91 bounces, the vast majority considered
"chronic" bounces, wherein
the same members have repeatedly bounced.
AUGUST 2006
Aug 4 - Voting ended.
Notice was placed on the EC website that results
would be released between
August 7-12. The results came in and were
released on August 10.
