<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi everyone. We have our upcoming national council
elections. I've put out a request for questions for candidates. You can see an
example from last year here:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><A

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have enough questions related to AV and the RaBIT
situation now.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Anybody have anything else? <STRONG>We need to
elect the best team possible to lead our campaign aimed at the next federal
election</STRONG>. The idea with the questions is to make it easier for our
members to distinguish between candidates, see what the candidates think about
issue they care about and what their plans are, and therefore increase
voter turnout. I know for myself, without this information, it just looks like a
bunch of resumes of people I don't know and I don't know who to vote for. I
can see why people don't bother. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>A good turnout is doubly important this
year. It is too easy in FVC for a small group with an agenda to get their people
elected to council because so few people participate. Last year we did
significantly increase the turnout and I think this was because of the
questionnaire. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
