Perhaps the use of "postal votes" could be made - as an organisation
becomes bigger (or, face it, any organisation that is spread out over
Australia) it needs to allow people to participate without physically
being there.  This of course assumes the matters to be voted on are
known in advance, and/or of enough importance.

Stand and be counted - put yourself up for a position on the committee,
and vote for the people you want to be in power.

Also - candidates standing for a position - write up a paragraph on your
"policies" for office.

PS: perhaps each AUUG committee member could write up a section on what
they do - what their duties are and how time consuming the position is.
Perhaps this will make people appreciate the effort people put into
these jobs.
