Mark,
Interesting about using the two different URLs. When I do name
resolution on them I get the same registered IP address. Also, when I
attempt to use the two different URLs I get a home page on each that
includes the "Annual Vote" list, in fact they are identical (which I
would expect since they should be the same physical page). They issue
may have to do with cache in your computer.
On the topic of membership, we have had a number of people
contact us assuming they were members for one reason or another (i.e.,
they are in the listserv, they have attended past meetings, etc.)
without actually having completed the application form. We have also
had a number of people complete the membership application after the
election started, but as per several emails prior to the election,
membership had to be "on file" prior to 5:00 pm (EST), Wednesday (3/19),
to be eligible to cast a vote. We have also had a number of people
contact us directly simply because they couldn't remember their
membership number and/or had mis-placed the "OpenMPE Membership"
notification. We have happily provided these people with their
membership number.
Unfortunately we don't find a complete membership application
for you. If you did complete one you would have received and email with
the subject "OpenMPE Membership". Membership is still available and we
encourage any and everybody that is not a member to complete the
application. We apologize for any confusion or difficulty anybody is
having and continue to work with individuals as best as we can within
the guidelines of our bylaws.
Thanx,
Jon

I can see how some people may be having trouble voting.
I get a different web site when I connect to the advertised,
http://www.openmpe.org/ verses the seemingly correct
http://openmpe.org/. The http://openmpe.org/ site actually has a link
on it that says "Annual Vote"
I know I am a member. But for the life of me, if I every received a
member number I must of lost it. I save every email I receive (with the
exception of obvious spam), and I can not find it anywhere.
A combination of these two things may influence people's desire and
ability to vote.
