Those of you who are the administrative contacts for a registered domain
under the .ca top-level domain will have no doubt received an e-mail such as
the one below (which you may have already deleted without giving it much
thought). Those of you who weren't at Tuesday's MUUG meeting might be
interested to know that Bill Reid (a long-time MUUG member, and the
presenter at our Tuesday meeting) is one of the candidates for the CIRA
board of directors election.
I've known Bill for a long time, and can't think of anyone in Manitoba who
would be more qualified as a CIRA board member. His knowledge of networks,
and his dedication to whatever tasks he takes on, would make him a great
asset to CIRA, and to all network users in Manitoba. I strongly encourage
you to vote for Bill!
Thank you.
(This has not been a paid political announcement... :)
