Re: [alac] Voting on ALS applications

[Jean Armour Polly <mom@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi- I'm reading mail backwards-- yes,  you and I (and probably 
others) are agreed Jacqueline, that we should have a set date and 
vote every month. Let's plan for success-- plan for LOTS of 
applications a month and vote once a month. I believe some of us have 
advocated this monthly voting before, too, sorry I have forgotten.

Also, as I mentioned the voting tool isn't a problem. When there are 
10 or so applications it takes about an hour to do the links, check 
everything, test, etc. This current one has already been set up since 
mid-July. Annette, Wendy, and I even tested it then.  I think Annette 
mentioned she's waiting for some due diligence forms from Bruce, I 
think some of them are from older applications, but I am not sure.

But I agree, let's vote on the ones we have. In any case let's hurry 
and vote the LACs because they have a pending RALO meeting in a 
couple weeks!
