2. what you will do if elected
For those who are running for election how about some campaiging? Are you actively campaiging for votes? Its all over in 2 weeks so nows the time here in this forum and elsewhere if you want a chance this time around! Change is needed.. You might be the one we have been waiting for! email all you know and get the votes you need. Auda needs some new blood and many changes to policy and their expenditure ( does every new member really need an Auda Cap?.. does AUda need its recent big newspaper advertisements? Does the AUDA foundation work... is it needed?...is it a waste of money? or is lower AUDA domain fees a better priority? What Policies need changing... Should theAuda CEO be a contract position advertised each few years or yearly.. should the crazy 6 month rule be deleted from policy?
