A quick reference to the candidates for the 2005 LDraw.org Steering Committee election. The information is drawn from posts on LUGNET [4] and LDraw.org, and corrections are welcome, please email Larry Pieniazek.
Per the process documented in the Bylaws [5] and Policies & Procedures [6] Document, nominations were taken on LUGNET [7] and LDraw.org as replies to a particular post. This post on Lugnet [8] and post on LDraw.org [9] and the replies to them show who is nominated, who is seconded, and who has accepted. Some candidates posted position statements as well. If you are a candidate and have written a statement, please send Larry the link so it can be posted here.
