Re: AB election

Dear SC, 

I can only support Cristina & Georges wise words. Dividing votes would be armful, and as we say in French, "un tiens vaut mieux que deux tu l'auras" (more of less "one for sure is better than two maybe").

Best regards
Laurent

We support his running, because we believe that accessibility in publishing is essential and, of course, Avneesh is ideal for driving that forward. We all know how strong Avneesh is strategically, and over the next few years, the W3C will need to be spot on strategically.   Finally, we feel that Avneesh is very electable,  because he brings diversity, a developing countries international perspective, , and four years of experience on the AB as it moved to become an independent entity.

> Hi SC,

> We are in the nomination period for an AB election. Avneesh has served on the AB for several years. Wendy has been nominated by TetraLogical for the AB. Avneesh and I were speaking earlier today, and we decided to put the question to you – do we think that the publishing community (and accessibility community) can elect 2 candidates. The voting mechanism is complicated, and we don’t yet know how many candidates for the 6 seats. I do have some information from other potential candidates that leads me to believe that, like the special election held a few months ago, this will be highly competitive.
