Dear Izumi: Thanks for your suggestions. For your information, we changed the way in which voting notices were sent out in order to help prevent them from going in people's spam filters; you may recall that we were all informed that one or two members informed us all that they had not seen notices for this reason. We do often send reminders that votes are closing near the closing time as well. I understand that you are all volunteers, however, there is only so much that systems can do to help remind Members to vote when ballots are open.

The message we receive now comes under the same heading by the staff, even the subject is different, so it is easy to ignore the second or the thrid email which came closely with the first one. izumi 2008/9/28 Izumi AIZU <iza@anr.org>:

Sorry, I missed it - in part I did not pay attention, in part I was on the road and was too busy, in part the vote was closed when I found it. These are of course my excuse.

If I could have voted, I would have voted yes.

In another fine display of participant zeal, eight ALAC members decided to ignore yet another ALAC vote -- this time on the Overview Report on the ALAC Review. Those listed below (more than half of the ALAC) did not bother to vote:

1 Izumi Aizu 2 Annette Muehlberg 3 Carlos Aguirre 4 Jose Ovidio Salgueiro 5 Hawa Diakite 6 Thu Hue Nguyen 7 Vanda Scartezini 8 Fatimata Seye Sylla

Kudos to the ALAC Chair for the great results obtained under the new "Remedial" participation policy. At this rate, the ALAC will be dead and buried soon.
