Since I've managed to arrange that C_PlusPlus won't go away on 2-Fab, I'm 
adopting the same election rules as have been posted for the C_Echo.
                  C_PlusPlus Moderator Election Rules
                  -----------------------------------
1.  The nominating period will run through 31-Jan-1998.
2.  The voting period will run from 1-Feb-1998 through 28-Feb-1998.
3.  The new moderator will be announced in C_PlusPlus on 1-Mar-1998 and will
    assume office on 8-Mar-1998 or earlier where feasible. 
4.  To be eligible for the post of moderator, a candidate must meet the
    following criteria:
    a.  Candidates must be either a sysop or a point. If a point, the
        candidate must have the consent and approval of his/her BossNode
        sysop.
    b.  Candidates must have posted messages in C_PlusPlus within the month
        of December, 1997. 
    c.  Candidates must have an Internet address as well as a FidoNet
        address, allowing them to be able to reliably send and receive
        Internet email as well as FidoNet NetMail.
5.  Candidates may either be nominated or volunteer. If nominated, no
    seconding nomination is required. If volunteered, a seconding
    nomination will be required.
6.  All candidates must explicitly accept their nomination.
7.  Nominations and volunteers should be posted publicly in C_PlusPlus.
    Acceptance of nominations must be via email to rbs@snippets.org.
8.  Anyone who posted a message to C_PlusPlus within the month of December,
    1997, is eligible to vote.
9.  Votes should be sent directly to me via NetMail to 1:106/2000.6 or email
    to rbs@snippets.org. All voters should expect a confirming message.
    Please be aware that sometimes I have problems with NetMail. So use
    Internet email where possible.
10. If anyone has, or seems to have, any real problems getting their vote to
    me, they may, as a last resort, post their votes in C_PlusPlus. This
    obviously violates the concept of a secret ballot, and is therefore
    discouraged unless all other means of voting have been exhausted
    unsuccessfully.
