»Candidates announced for User Representative election
The Jay Miner Society (JMS) today released the official list of candidates for the forthcoming election of a User Representative to the Steering Committee of the Industry Council of the Open Amiga (ICOA). Voting will begin on 23rd March.
The User Representative will have a full voting seat on the Steering Committee for a period of one year, alongside the four seats for those elected by ICOA members and a permanent non-voting veto seat occupied by an Amiga Inc representative. This position has been created to ensure that the ICOA makes decisions that not only satisfy programmers and manufacturers, but benefit Amiga users in general. It combines the roles of consumer advocate, opinion-gatherer, strategist and community liaison. The JMS and other user organizations will provide support for this demanding job.
The candidates are:
Bill Borsari tekmage@wam.umd.edu
Craig Delahoy craigd@ansonic.com.au
Paul Haggins graphixd@wonder.ca
Timothy Vincent Rue timrue@mindspring.com
