Please vote by November 30th. At the end of the voting period, the top three vote-getters will be the BOTMs. If we need to break a tie, we will use the number of first place votes, or if that doesn't work, the number of second place votes as a tie-breaker. If we need another tie-breaker, we will discuss in thread and add to rules in future.

Hi Susan,
The 'current vote tally' you have linked above is not showing any votes recorded at all. Not sure whether anyone else has voted, but I have, so that's one at least.

I can't see the tally or my vote either.

It should be fixed now. Sorry about that!!

It works! Thanks, Susan
