<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>While Im deeply honoured to be included in Texrat's
list of nominations, I have to be honest about my abilities. The longer I have
spent in the community, the more I have become aware of my limitations: I have
neither technical skills nor business experience. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>As a result, while part of me would love to be
engaged and involved at the level of the council, I strongly suspect I'd be a
bit of a lame duck and a bit useless. I'd find it hard to promote myself as a
candidate, as I think there are people far better skilled and equipped than I
for the role.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>On this basis, I feel I must decline, because
I honestly don't think there's room on a five-person council for
someone with so little proper background.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But thank you, Tex, I'm flattered and honourd to be
nominated.</FONT></DIV>

nominations</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>In a tmo thread earlier [1] I posed a several persons I thought
would make outstanding candidates for the next community council. After
dwelling on it today I have narrowed it down to the following, whom I would
like to
nominate:<BR><BR>sjgadsby<BR>anidel<BR>revdkathy<BR>timoph<BR>qole<BR>attila77<BR><BR>Please
understand this was not an easy list to reduce in either case. There are
a great many people I would love to include, but I am focusing on a mix I
think have the necessary attributes for the current and upcoming community
needs.<BR><BR>Note that the candidate(s) must accept for this nomination to
have value.<BR><BR>
