1997 RACE TO AUSTRALASIA OPENS!
Nominations are hereby called for a North American fan to travel to Australasia in 1997, probably for the NatCon in September.
Nominations should be sent to either of the current Administrators by 30 September 1996. A candidate must promise, barring acts of God, to travel to Australasia, to produce a Trip Report to be sold as a fundraiser for the Fund, and to Administer the North American end of the fund until a successor is chosen.
The candidate must supply a platform of about one hundred (100) words encouraging fans to vote for them, as well as a brief history of previous Australasian travel, if any. A non-refundable bond of $US20 is also required. Three (3) nominations from North America and two (2) nominations from Australasia for the candidate must be received by the current Administrators. Email nominations are fine to beat the deadline, but a signed nomination must follow by post.
