Thanks Joy. I'll not be there forever, so i hope those thoughts will be back at some point, but i guess it is time to see what can be done from the inside.

Yeah I agree with you. There is something about being inattentive to power that pervades a lot of what is happening just now. Maybe they would say they need to check the successful candidates or get agreements in place or something, but it used to be voted AND announced at AGM 🤷‍♀️

I think it will be announced by email in the ebulletin later this month.

Yeah i saw someone do that then delete it. It seems to me quite silly to have this period of silence. Much better the way they used to do it.
