Repeat: Reminder of the 2019 AGM

REMINDER REMINDER REMINDER REMINDER REMINDER REMINDER REMINDER 
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The April talk announcement will go out this weekend in a separate
mailing. This announcement is being sent to ensure we get sufficient
members or proxies to have our AGM. This message will be repeated a
couple of days prior to the AGM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The April meeting starts with our AGM as required by the corporation 
bylaws.

At present, we have the following candidates for the board:
- Bruce Davis
- Ian Gorman
- Ed Hong
- Scott Murphy
- John Nash
- Tug Williams


If anyone else is interested in being on the board, feel free to self-
nominate no later than April 2nd, 2019. If several people are willing to
come on board, a few of us are willing to withdraw our intent in order to
get some new blood in. Just so everyone is aware, four board members is
sufficient, six would be better in case of circumstances requiring an
existing member to step down.

In addition, according to the bylaws of the non-profit corporation, we
require at least 20 members people to be present, either in person or via
proxy. We will have a sign-up sheet for the election and will require all
present  to sign in order to prove the election was held in compliance with
the  bylaws. If we do not have the requisite number of people/proxies, we
are  required to repeat this at every future meeting until we do meet the
criteria. If you are not going to be there, please register a proxy. To
meet the member criteria, our official member roster is this mailing list.

Proxies can be registered by sending an email to either John Nash (john dot
nash at uottawa dot ca) or Scott Murphy (scott dot murphy at arrow dash eye
dot com) prior to 17:00 on Wednesday, April 3rd or that we have a record
prior to the election. The email should be in the form of the example in the
bylaws, replicated below:

At the request of another board member to ensure the above makes sense,
