Correction on Call for Election Commissioner for Enterprise NeuroSystems Governing Board Elections
by Dinesh Verma
Dear Community Members,
There was a problem with the initial suggestion asking for the Election Commissioner.
The mailing list board(a)lists.enterpriseneurosystem.org<mailto:board@lists.enterpriseneurosystem.org> does not permit sending of email by people not on the board.
This feature was discovered when the first volunteer tried to send the nomination. In light of the above, here are the revised suggestions:
If you want to nominate someone or yourself as the Election Commissioner, please use any of the board members as an intermediary to submit your nominations to the board mailing lists. The list of current board members are at the following URL: https://github.com/Enterprise-Neurosystem/Governing-Board-Minutes
