I am so proud of all the nominees and wish the best to each and every one of them in their new role here at Neopoet. I am one proud writer who can say this - the selections came most highly recognized and I am happy each one of them were selected as they all bring something valuable and rewarding to this site.
Best of wishes to you Race, Pugli, Scribe, Seren and Crypt. May we resume the reasons we all as writers came here to share and learn. We have the right crew!

Blessings to all of you
Mona

Looking forward to working with everyone. I am sure this is going to be a great group with the mixture of new blood and those that have served before. Congratulations to each of you.

"Apologies
in my befuddled state,
I forgot to translate

Or words to that effect, heehee.

Best wishes to the Neopoet *Family*....including those elected. Unfortunately, I did not see what they are elected for. No AEC Guidelines. Perhaps that's for their eyes only.

I bow out before I get booted.

Blessings to all. Life is hard, be kind to those you don't agree with and learn how to take criticism without making enemies or complaints when you get the shitty end of the stick.

"No AEC Guidelines."

You are mistaken.

"Life is hard, be kind to those you don't agree with and learn how to take criticism without making enemies or complaints when you get the shitty end of the stick."

So, you finally have come over to my position. Wonderful.

I think Anna was referring to the AEC guidelines not being posted publicly. I've seen them and I see no reason why they shouldn't be posted publicly. They are fair, reasonable and comprehensive.

Of course they will not satisfy everyone completely, that is impossible.

I guess it opens up the possibility of another shitfight about them but if they are endorsed by the voted representatives (the AEC) and the Trustees, then any suggested changes would need to be addressed by people standing for and voting in the next elections in 3 months. Any attempt to create a drama about them before that would be senseless.

Race_9togo

one and all, for your congratulations and best wishes.

Pugilist

Even though I was not successful in my attempt to get people not to vote for me.

This is not a cry for support or accolades or reassurance, it is a simple statement of fact.

And even though I have a strong will and I state my opinion without remorse, I don't believe myself a better person than anyone so I will never try to get folks to do anything "for their own good."

I state my stance, make my argument, cast my vote, and never throw a fit because I did not get my own way. This is a poetry workshop and my assumption is that I am always involved with mature adults. When that assumption is proven wrong, well, I deal as I can.

My total support and deepest sympathies to you all.

Now tell us. How do we contact the AEC directly? Is it aec13 [AT] neopoet.com?

I know you are going to have a very busy session but I have two suggestions.

1. Open a suggestion box.

2. Create a new Forum for informational/educational pieces about the art and craft of poetry and feedback.

I like your ideas on your two suggestions. Especially number two. I was thinking the same thoughts as you, my how did that happen:) From the sticky chair to under the couch how about those limericks we were working on?

talk soon mate

to all the new AEC. I think this will be a banner year for the site. I am so glad to see such an electic group on the commitee this term. This should be really good for making things happen. I see a change in the site already. The spirit of co-operation is present. Best of luck, to all. ~ Geezer

I welcome the elected and must say I am impressed the way this is all being directed, a poetry site for the poets by the poets. I am sure I will get around to meeting all of you soon and good luck with it all.

A word to the new AEC,
Please don't forget old guys like me.
With minds that just wander

There's ....... 'scuse me I gotta go pee.

Congrats to all, have a successful quarter

That may never come to pass as I can be very fuddled and addlepated the best of times.... sort of like the absent minded professor, lol. hanks for the congrats. But a voice I will attempt to be with all that I have, for right, justice, and a fair go.

go to you all. The AEC never seems to have an easy time of it.
I do, however, feel we are in good hands. Congratulations!

I look forward to seeing more of Neo soon. :)

Always,

Good hands are strong, versatile and hard working
Good hands work well together and take good care of each other
Good hands build great things
Good hands take out the trash
Or good hands can make the most of it
Complete confidence can be put into good hands
Good hands are priceless

I believe we are in good hands

congradulations, all of you
