Vincent you have been doing a wonderful and very large job on the
election committee.

I thank you sincerely for this fine work that you and the rest of the
committee has done.

We need to trust you guys 100%.

But I would like to say this sooner and not later that I think that you
as a candidate yourself should not at the same time be sitting on the
election committee- for your own sake as a serious and very skilled
candidate to a seat on the board.

Regards 

Anne
