[amsat-bb] Ballots?

[Robert Bankston]

On May 1st, AMSAT launched an online Member Portal (launch.amsat.org) that allows members to manage their contact information.  Note, this is separate from our main website (amsat.org) and requires separate login credentials.
  
In addition to being able to update your contact information, you can renew your membership (if not already a life member), view and download issues of The AMSAT Journal (dating back to 2014), download the latest satellite frequency guide, and view/download AMSAT Symposium Proceedings (dating back to 1986).
  
To sign into your account, visit launch.amsat.org and click on the LOG IN button.  On the next screen, click on the Forgot Password link.  On the next screen, enter your email address (), the displayed code, and click on the SUBMIT button.  This will generate a reset password email.  Open the email, click on the link, and follow the instructions.
  
If you receive a message “ERROR WARNING – Email not found” message after clicking SUBMIT, send an email to members at amsat.org, with HELP in the subject line. In the body of the message, all we need is your full name, your call sign, and your AMSAT member number (if you know it).
  
Instructions on how to get signed in are also available at https://launch.amsat.org/resources/Documents/Documents/The%20New%20AMSAT%20Member%20and%20Event%20Online%20Portal.pdf

How do we get access to the membership portal? None of the e-mail addresses I usually use are recognized.

If that address is missing or incorrect, it is almost certain your ballot won't be delivered. If you need to correct the address, please advise me, and pending verification against the voter list, I will send a replacement at the next opportunity (which will be Saturday at the earliest, as I am away from home).

As stated earlier, given domestic and international delivery standards and accounting for guard time, a correctly addressed ballot will not be considered lost in post until August 12.
