We'll hold the floor open for 24 hours pending a second on
this nomination and/or discussion.

Should a second be received, we'll hold the floor open for
an additional 24 hours for any continuing discussion.

The updated potential ballot now appears as such:

Ballot measure 1, the calendar week of the event:

Options (in order of nomination):

1. Within the week beginning April 18. (Nominated,
multiple seconds.)

2. Within the week beginning March 14. (Nominated,
pending second.) This will be dropped if no second
is received by the closing of the floor.

3. Within the week beginning March 21. (Nominated,
seconded.)
. . . . .

Ballot measure 2, length of the event and start/stop days:

Options (in order of nomination):

1. Six-day. Begin Sunday, end Friday. (Nominated,
multiple seconds.)

2. Seven-day. Begin Sunday, end Saturday. (Nominated,
multiple seconds.)

3. Six-day. Begin Monday, end Friday. (Nominated,
pending second.)

I am opposed to this nomination for two reasons.

1. As Mary Beth has reminded us, we have historically
seen a significant departure on or just before Saturday,
probably attributable to the increased room rates for
the weekend.

This option does not allow full six-day participation
on weekday room rates. I see this as reducing the
overall participation in, and overall satisfaction of
the event as a whole.

2. It acts as a "spoiler" for the Sunday-Friday option
which has been nominated and received multiple seconds.

For this reason, I encourage all to refrain from seconding
this nomination and, should it be seconded, for those in
favor of a six-day event to please cast their votes for
the already-nominated Sunday-Friday timeframe.
