The functions of what you so quaintly call the "mail room" were cut, as they
should be, to no longer allow processing of either "private" or "stamped"
mail.

AUUG has for over a year now had a policy of improving the service to members
by, for example, employing ACMS. Surely the cost of a return addressed envelope
(including the "FREEPOST" facility mentioned above) with the voting form would
be insignificant by comparison.

A stamp I consider cheap, My time I don't.

It is, I think, unusual for a postal ballot form not to include a return
addressed envelope, even the NRMA included one (although I don't remember if
it had prepaid postage)

But then perhaps it would make it too easy for members to vote ?
