2003 IIUG Board Elections - Please Choose Your Representatives

The International Informix Users Group 2003 Board of Directors elections officially started on 1 August 2002 and will run through midnight US Eastern, GMT-0400, 21 August 2002.

This is a democratic process whereby the 11 candidates who obtain the most votes and confirm their interest to serve will be confirmed as elected. To contain potential conflicts of interest, votes are automatically tallied and manually validated by members of the IIUG Nominating Committee who are not standing for election.

All IIUG members who joined prior to midnight US Eastern, GMT-0400, 26 July 2002 (IIUG member numbers prior to 18297) are eligible to select their choice of 11 candidates and cast a single and unchangeable ballot online via the IIUG Member Area at http://www.iiug.org/members.

A list of the candidates along with their election addresses is available at http://www.iiug.org/iiug/bios.html and from within the ballot in order to enable an educated and thoughtful vote.
