Thank you John. While it may be technically correct that we can continue without electing anyone, it is my opinion that the interests of this assembly are best served by explicit nomination and election (even if the latter happens by unanimous consent). HOWEVER, I understand your and Matt's intention as wanting to re-elect the current slate of directors: * Robin Lee Powell * Robert LeChevalier * Matt Arnold * Arnt Richard Johansen I will allow 7 days for further nominations, objections or comments. If there are none, the above will be elected by unanimous consent. -- Arnt Richard Johansen Vice President, LLG
