 <title>Clarification</title>
 <link>http://www.itskeptic.org/itsmf-usa-board-election#comment-3595</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Just a clarification for your readers so they can get a better picture of the current state of affairs in the US.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The three seats up for grabs represent the three members whose terms are expiring:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rob Stroud&lt;br /&gt;
Dennis Ravenelle (who was appointed to take Phyllis Drucker&#039;s spot when she became Operations Director)&lt;br /&gt;
David Cannon (who will fill the Past President spot)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A fourth spot is also open, due to my resignation from the Board at the September Director&#039;s meeting in San Francisco. My workload and other professional and personal challenges prevented me from continuing on the Board at this time. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since I resigned prior to the end of my second year, the by-laws state a person can be appointed to finish out this year, but then the open seat must be filled by an elected director for the last year of my term. (This was how Rob orginally got on the Board).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope this helps!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Michael&lt;/p&gt;
