PEOI Board of Directors

Dear board members,

------------ PROCEDURE FOR MY DISCUSSION ENTRY -------------------

Please log in at PEOI in "About us" as board member. Then click on "My
discussion" (in upper right part of the screen). Once in the procedure,
the screen will contain this agenda, messages of other board
members, one area to enter your comments and votes, one area to
post a general entry, and guidelines on how to use the procedure.
Use the entry that contains an invitation to type in comments on the
two discussion items of this agenda, and to enter your votes for
the nine items on which to vote. Once your reply is completed,
click on "Save" button. This will record your answers and your votes,
and will send out messages containing your comments to all board members.

If you want to change something in your answers, you can always do that
by visiting My discussion again anytime prior to deadline: your initial
comments and voting will open automatically. Suppressing
messages to board members can be especially useful if you are
merely making a small spelling correction for instance. Observe that
there are two lists of board members in which messages can be
suppressed: each pertain to the message just above it.

If you want to respond to comments made by someone else, you have
two options. One is to modify your initial comments and send
them out again. And the second alternative is to write a new entry
using the yellow area specifying in the title of the entry to whom
and on which item you are writing new comments.
