I think the main thing is to get it right now. With the Executive
Director not attending the meeting and a notice on tei-l, it is
understandable, if regrettable that personal notices seem to have fallen
through the cracks. 

Moreover, as far as I am aware, everybody who was elected is now on the
appropriate listservs. Or at least I was told this was going to happen.

To avoid additional screwups, I'll make check with Veronika to see where
we stand.
