I do not believe so. The only time we have filled slots without a vote is when there was only one person to fill the slot - like was the case with Eduardo in this last election. If there were more than one, voting has always been done. D Darlene A. Thompson CAP Administrator N-CAP/Department of Education P.O.

This has never been done. It has always been done by a voting process. The rough consensus wording should rather be used for routine decisions. I am happy to make such a change if there is such a will. I wouldn't say never. NARALO's first two non-ALAC reps -- Robert and Beau - were chosen by consensus, no vote was ever taken. I believe that Gareth's selection as well as my first, were also done that way. I would prefer to keep the option so to allow for the flexibility. - Evan
