The time has come for the annual OpenMPE vote.  This year four board seats
will be up for election.  These four board seats have been held by Ted
Ashton, Jon Backus, Birket Foster, and Mark Klein.  There are no term limits
so each of these people may or may not be running for re-election.  I will
allow each of them respond with their intentions.  What we need from the
general membership is nominations of potential candidates.  Each nomination
will be contacted directly to see if they wish to accept.  Those that accept
will be placed on a ballot, which will be available for members to vote on
prior to the Annual Conference to be held on Friday, March 28th, at 1:00 pm
(EST) in parallel with the East Coast Solution Symposium (Valley Forge, PA).
Results of the vote will be made known at the conference.

Thanx,
