On Monday I harangued Image/SQL and Allbase/SQL users:

> ...... the polls are now OPEN for "pre-SIB" voting ....:
>
>  http://oblina.csillc.com/sigs      or
>  http://207.103.9.100/sigs

As per previous by me and others, the polls for voting on
individual SIG ballots will remain open until COB Friday 9
March;  i.e.:  Only NINE MORE VOTING DAYS !!!

Thank you to all who have already voted....   Note that last
time I got a vote total summary update for the TurboIMAGE
Ballot, the leading contenders were neck and neck...

For those who have not made the trip to above URL yet, gently
ask and encourage you NOT to wait to the last minute:  The
schedule for voting on the full Interex SIB (will follow almost
immediately after polls close on the SIG ballots) is tight.  So it
would be helpful for SIG Leaders that have many items on the
SIG ballots to get a picture as early as possible of which items
are likely not to need extra effort on extended descriptions;
i.e.:  If by middle of next week some items still have zero or
very low votes, expect no need to provide more background
on them this year, since they likely will not make it to the SIB.

The six SIG ballots on which you can vote at above URL have
a lot of good items on them...  If you don't help decide, others
will....     :-)
