19. obvious pen-names. Thus, Weaver Wright and FJA would have only one vote jointly. The above proposal, which has been evolved over a period of time, and in conversations with, among others, Frank Kerkhof, Bob Pavlat, Bob Briggs, Chick Derry, Lou Garner, Roy Loan, and George Earley, seems to me the best and simplest way to eliminate a number of gripes from future conventions. It is submitted for the consideration of all fandom. - 0 0 0 0 0 0 - A METHOD OF SELECTING WORLD S-F CONVENTION SITES A detailed PROPOSAL, outlining a new method of selecting the Convention sites, has been prepared and will be disributed at the Cinvention. The proposed method differs from the above plan in one or two minor respects.....particularly as regards the counting of votes. Under the new plan, the votes would not be weighted. A vote would count only as one vote regardless of the point of origin. This, I feel, is a more democratic method. Copies of the PROPOSAL have been distributed to a few of the more prominent fans, and comments and criticisms invited. Except for a few minor points (mainly concerned with the exact method of handling bids and votes, and time limits) the response has been overwhelmingly in favor of the plan. Both the PROPOSAL and the above plan are purely personal and do not, at this time, represent the official opinion of the club.....even though many members of the club have expressed their approval and support.
