[All] FW: GREN Elections

[Robert Milligan]

Hi All,

I nominate Kevin Thomason for the position of Vice-Chair subject to  
his agreement to have his name stand. I  put his name forth for so  
many reasons including: 1) his long-time dedication to the  
environment; 2) his reasonableness and clear thinking; 3) his strong  
connections with the business community because of his great success  
as a digital technology entrepreneur; 4) his ability to persuade those  
of more extreme political ideologies towards a more pragmatic -- even  
slightly progressive -- view; 5) perhaps, most important, he is a  
super-nice person and gets along with just about everybody.

Robert M.
