Has UKV died?  Will the Committee conduct the election themselves?  I am 
not particularly bothered by the Committee conducting and counting the 
vote, etc. as I know they have some good counters amongst them but it 
might have been good manners for UKV to say "we are no more".

The mailing list is still working. The co-ordinator is still around. I am 
sure that most of the members are about somewhere although at least one has 
a few personal problems at the minute (but has offered to help control with 
the election from the sidelines despite this) and most of them are being 
very quiet. I'm not quite sure why things are not working. I resigned a 
while ago.
