Perhaps we should draft the effective message in board@ as a reminder message and post it in 5 days or so. <div><br></div><div>I really wish if there was a way to message only the ones that have not voted yet, but messaging everybody is better than not messaging at all. </div>

<br></div><div>Worse is that it was sent from "<a href="mailto:help@oidf.org" target="_blank">help@oidf.org</a>" instead of, say, "director@" or even "elections@". </div><div><br></div><div>
I'd like to see this improved if there are going to be subsequent emails sent out. What do I need to do to help improve this?</div>
