[arg_discuss] [SIG] Member Vote: IGDA Board of Directors Election

[adam]

For those of you on the list who are IGDA members, please take 10 
minutes of your day to read the pitches (link below) by the dozen people 
standing for election to the IGDA board, and submit your votes.

Voting is easy (handy link below), only requiring you to login to your 
IGDA account, click checkboxes for each/all of the people you want to 
vote for, then submit and you're done (he says, having just done it ;)).

In a very real way, the people elected now *will* make a difference to 
the future of this SIG. Bear in mind your vote here carries around 
30,000 times more weight than in a US general election :).
