Accounting for performance standards of international first class and domestic presorted standard delivery, correctly addressed ballots will not be considered lost in post until August 12. Regarding the format of the election: the bylaws require a mailed ballot, but not necessarily a mailed return. I would have liked to have provided an electronic return option, but that would have incurred costs and restrictions on candidate statement availability. These issues raised concern among the board and officers across the perceived idealogical divide. Accordingly, this election is being conducted by post. Post not infrequently involves waiting. That's why two months are allowed for the return time. Members' understanding of the finality of the timing and method of the election is appreciated. 73 de Brennan N4QX
