4. Ballots

4.1. Letter ballot response rate is unacceptable

It must not be necessary that for any vote the chair has to remind people multiple times. We try to use only meeting votes to take this burden away, but sometimes it is not possible and thus letter ballots will happen again. Please do vote, immediately when the announcement arrives is best !

4.2. Ballots to vote :
