Dear Aacorners,
I have been silent.
Perhaps because of that,
I finally see someone putting some sense
into all these long sequences of nominations.
Some reflexion about the aforementioned procedures
is needed.
Sincerely,
Fernando Pereira Alves

Subject: The Nomination Procedure
Dear All
Why don't we stop the endless nominations and let anyone who is interested
in the research network join. I have not seen one nomination that anyone
might object to and there are so many worthy people who are, it seems,
interested in joining the network. I would be delighted if the procedure
were simplified. Personally, I think nominations are undignified and often
it makes people sound like exhibits - with all the parading of virtues which
normination seems to require. I would say all are welcome and have done
with it. Perhaps there are good reasons for the procedure of which I am
unaware - in which case, I would say let any two members propose membership
to the network holder and membership become automatic.
Good Wishes,
Heather Hopfl
