Once validated, the vote will be tabulated in a spreadsheet. FYI, the chair will disassociate the ballot information from any email sendee address when received and forward the message (with the sendee address removed) to the entire committee for redundancy of record keeping.

In addition to the section officers, committee chairpersons and committee members for the 2009/2010 term are to be appointed but do not have to be nominated or elected by ballot.
