I had no idea about this, Laura what happened? did you contact the
committee before enforcing this action?

First, like i said last time, most actions taken by the election committee
was done by Laura "not" the committee.

Laura, i will appreciate in future that you should share with t*he
committee* before taking any actions, if not i will have to declare you
unfit and therefore should make any move that require "we the
membership/election committee" without actually contacting the committee
first. I have enough rights as you are and have been in this committee for
almost 3 years and i always let the committee agree on my thought before
sharing them.

The limit of 1500 was laura's idea and *not * the committee, so as one of
the committee member, i would say every candidate have right to do
whatsoever he or she wants to do with their limit. It wasn't a factor last
election so i don't see why we should have that as a case. So Adam, Walter
you have the right to exceed the limit and express yourself. The 1500
character was laura's idea not the committee.



Thank You
