having a specific deadline ..say 2-3 days, dunno...until votes are tallied, giving people a chance to know about the voting, etc.
Just a thought.

as I just did, you can find that one or 2 others wanted to host, early on, such as Starboard Tack.
And, a couple of posts have a LOT of replies, maybe those people should be given a PM to let them know voting is taking place?
Kinda close to Christmas, and all that, but still....

remember anyone else early on. Can you?

As soon as Uppityperson posts the actual Vote Thread I think we should PM members that there will be a vote regarding Hosts, that will close on whatever date Uppity choses. This might need some coordination so we're not PMing the same people over & over.

I know that maddezmom is hosting a good bit elsewhere, too.
And I am not sure if she is around right now or off re: xmas.

You could pm those on the voting thread and divvy up the names of the rest of the group for a heads up re: the voting,I suppose.?

I would suggest asking Starboard Tack if s/he wants to move from 2 to 1 position?
