[Air-L] Voting Open & A Question for Candidates

[Alexander Halavais]

Dear AoIR Members (and members of the broader community),

Just a reminder that AoIR elections are now open, and will be until the end
of the month. I want to encourage all members to vote. There are lots of
ways to help contribute to and shape the future of an organization like
ours, and electing an executive committee that represents your interests is
one of these.

I have not yet voted and I'm hoping the candidates can answer a question
for me. (And I hope others will ask questions as well, despite the looming
deadline!)

I've looked over your candidate statements (linked here:
http://aoir.org/2013-executive-committee-election-candidate-statements-voting-information/
)
and I recognize and agree with the need to increase connections among
members outside of the conference setting--something that several of you
noted. That said, I wonder what single, concrete change you would most like
to see in the conferences themselves, and how you might suggest bringing
that about. What would you like to see in, say, Bangkok for 2014 that we
haven't seen in previous conferences? (If anything!) And what can you do to
help make that happen?

Thank you all for running, and I look forward to your responses.

Best,

Alex
