I want to thank everyone who has commented so far at the LiveJournal Advisory Board Nomination<\/a> link.<\/p>\n

Within nearly 2 hrs. I received over the necessary 100 comments to officially put me on the ballot in 2 weeks.<\/p>\n

I do invite you to read the following posts on the Advisory Board:
\n    The purpose of the Advisory Board: http:\/\/community.livejournal.com\/lj_2008\/2303.html<\/a>
\n    The appointed members and the mandate: http:\/\/community.livejournal.com\/lj_2008\/3384.html<\/a>
\nbut especially-
\n    The process of the election to the board: http:\/\/community.livejournal.com\/lj_2008\/4233.html<\/a><\/p>\n

While I will be making web banners to help people spread the word when elections come… I really want this to be an election where you vote for the candidate that will best represent your views on the board to LiveJournal.<\/p>\n

In as much, I want to strongly also congratulate rm<\/a> who was also approved today. I invite you to read her platform for running<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Because to me this isn’t a popularity contest. This is giving the right voice of the users the power to speak to the company that runs, maintains, and develops a tool that a lot of us have grown very attached to using.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, please continue to spread the good word. Post in your journals, invite others to post. Educate them about the board, the process, and what we’re trying to do.<\/p>\n

I will open this post to anyone who has any questions.<\/p>\n

Thank you!<\/p>\n
