[CWN-Summit] Call for Nominees for Election to the AFCN Board of Directors

[Michael maranda]

Greetings to all who attended the Community Wireless
Summit, and to those that wished they were there!


I am writing to personally invite your involvement in
the AFCN, including in the nomination of candidates
for the AFCN board of directors (including the
possibility of self-nomination).

In my view the various technologies are but one aspect
of community networking, and I wish to affirm AFCN's
openness to community wireless networking in the
community networking domain.

The call for nominations follows below.  A deadline of
Sept 12 is listed, but if the info gets to me within a
few days of that, all will be well.


More info on the AFCN at www.afcn.org


Regards,

Michael Maranda
AFCN President-Elect
