Reminder: there is a vote currently in progress on this ballot. So far,
only Ian and I have voted. Please take a look at the cited bug and
register an opinion when you have a chance.
Per 6.3.1 of the Constitution, our voting period is one week, which means
that votes have to be sent by Wednesday (2012-03-28).
