We do need to get **2** nominations per candidate, in order for them to appear
on the ballot. You are welcome to second the nomination of any person listed
above or to nominate someone else.

We would like to begin voting in a couple weeks. It will be the first
membership vote at Bioinformatics.Org, and we will be testing our new voting
system, being developed by Dmitry Mozzherin.

Cheers.
