Date: Sat, 6 Dec 1997 12:33:04 -0500 From: Mary Jane Isles Subject: F: The EmJays (update) Everybody, Due to the current hub-bub on the list and the fact that a goodly number of people are away for the weekend and nomail, the ballot will be posted at the beginning of this week instead, either late Monday or very early Tuesday. I'm putting the final changes into affect now. Looks good! To keep down the mail load for everyone, I'm posting the ballot to the INT category. Those of you who do not currently receive INT and want to participate, please change your settings to allow for INT mail. All campaigning should appear under INT, if possible, altho' there are certainly opportunities to campaign under other categories! :) Last year, CK helped me with organization and tabulation. She will again this year, along with Cathy. You may send your votes to any of the three of us. Individual ballot information will only be released with the permission of the voter. In other words, if someone votes for you as Most Sensual, and you want to know whodunnit... we have to get the permission of the voter to tell you. It's only fair to the voters. Complete instructions will be posted along with the ballot, so stay tuned. The most-asked questions so far are: Can I vote for myself Yes Will the blackball be used this year No How do I get nominated We all nominate as we vote. For instance, the category of List Flirt will have a blank space next to it on the ballot. You type in who you want to vote in as List Flirt on WRITERS. Are the categories the same? Some additions, some deletions, some creative renaming. Ok, again, ballot out beginning of the week, late Monday-early Tuesday. A week to vote, then the results will be posted. In the meantime, everybody should be campaigning, flirting and curmudgeoning and posting good poetry, critiquing like demons, making jokes and sprucing up your webpages-- yes, there is a Best Website category again this year. --MJ mji@srmoo.engl.sru.edu
