The CCG members usually renew their memberships at the Halloween Party (which is this Saturday) I will ask the treasurer to update Jeanine when we meet this weekend.  Also, sadly, one of our members, Barbara Wright, passed away yesterday (Alzheimer's).  I got word from her husband, Bob Anders, this morning.

It's not too late to include a mention of this in the Newsletter. It just dropped for editing this morning.

Cross-posting from Yahoo:


A clarification, as this information appears to have been miscommunicated unintentionally, which is, I hope, why there are currently NO nominations. There were many clarifications to the nomination process, so I can understand why this miscommunication occurred.  If you had attempted to make a nomination, please send it again as outlined below.

 

Those who would like to be nominated or nominate someone should send that nomination to icg-president@costume.org as well as posting it in either #general channel in Slack or to the ICG-D list or ICG-BoD yahoo list.  If you wish your nomination to be private, you may email it to ICG-president@costume.org, however, please also cc the Corresponding Secretary at icg-corr-secretary@costume.org.  

 

As this election is an interim election, and the president (and VP if one is nominated and elected) will only serve until CostumeCon in March, this vote will occur among the Board of Directors members that are checked in for the month of November.

 

Additionally, to whoever is nominated and eventually elected, I wish you all the best and great success in the position.

 

If you should have any questions regarding the positions, transition, what has transpired, or anything else, you can reach me at mera.babineaux@gmail.com or by phone at 804-467-5636.  I’m available from 9am to 9pm EST every day but Sundays.  

 

Cordially,
Mera Babineaux

Hi, all!

 

I'm forwarding the ICG Corresponding Secretary's recent message concerning nominations to fill the ICG President & Vice President positions recently vacated.

 

With all the communication issues surrounding the last couple of weeks, Vicky's original message to me appears to have vanished. I just requested a new one to forward to you and will follow up with you again once nominations have closed. That message is below.If you have any questions about the nominating process for the BOD special election, please let me know ASAP.As info, Ron Robinson will be stepping in as acting presiding officer of the ICG in about one more week. This is why nominations should be sent as below.

 

If you don't have access to the spaces for submitting nominations,  please let me know ASAP and I will do what I can to correct the problem.

 

Also, as info, posted elsewhere, my name is not available for either role with the ICG. A rumor came to my attention a week ago that I might be interested in serving in either capacity. This is not true.I'm happy to continue to serve as SiW President and ICG BOD Rep, and am working with the SiW Communcations Group to identify the options we have for replacing Yahoo. We should be reporting our suggestions to the group by the end of this week.

 

Happy Almost Halloween, 

 

Betsy
SiW President, ICG BOD Rep

Subject: ICG BoD upcoming vote
To: Betsy Marks Delaney aramintamd@gmail.com

 

Good evening Betsy,

 

As you are most likely aware, Marianne Pease, the President, and Mera Babineaux, the Vice President, have resigned their positions. I am reaching out to you, because you are listed as the board representative for the Silicon Web Costumers Guild, and it is important that we have your voice in the next few weeks.

 

The Board is currently working to fill these vacancies, and we will be taking a vote of the board only to appoint an interim President and Vice President until the general election in March.

Thank you for cross posting, Mera!

No problem!  I try to remember, lol.

We will be doing the vote and debate on Slack, in the BoD channel. I want to reach out to you to make sure you are aware of where the discussion and vote will take place. Your voice is important in this matter, and we appreciate your votes and opinions. If voting and discussion on Slack is problematic for you, please let me know so that we can make sure your voice is also heard, and that we can keep you up to date on what is happening.

 

Please reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or any other matters that you would like to bring up.

 

Thank you for your time,

Vicky Assarattanakul
ICG Corresponding Secretary
