[amsat-bb] AMSAT Critical Election

[Charles Reiche]

Steve,
The mailing list is provided to candidates, email addresses are not.
Everyone has to determine *on their own* whether or not the correlation of
the mailing list to email addresses scraped out of QRZ to be legitimate.
The mailing is provided by the bylaws of AMSAT as per the election process,
and has been for years!
If that needs to be changed, bring it up in a formal manner.  A list of
whatever you are agreeing to when joining AMSAT should be made available to
the membership. Then if an opt-out process is adopted, people should be
able to opt-out. It will save postage.  Seems reasonable, but also creates
work for volunteers that doesn't seem to be related to building and
launching satellites, other than saving a few stamps.
