<p class="MsoNormal">Dear ArchivesSpace Members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A little background on the voting process for those who are unfamiliar with it: In recent weeks we’ve sent a series of announcements about voting on certain issues in JIRA to ArchivesSpace Member Representatives. Brad’s message to Member
Reps on April 30 - <a href="http://lyralists.lyrasis.org/pipermail/archivesspace_member_reps/2015-April/000082.html">
http://lyralists.lyrasis.org/pipermail/archivesspace_member_reps/2015-April/000082.html</a> - provides a good deal of background about the process. Each member institution gets one vote for each issue and we’re asking that people vote only for issues that are
crucial to their implementation of ArchivesSpace in the next 6 months. The votes on Group 1 user stories are rolling in and thanks to all who have voted so far. This round of voting will close on May 31 and more rounds will follow.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If your institution hasn’t voted yet, this is a friendly reminder to do so. If you’re your institution’s member representative, please confer with your colleagues about institutional priorities and vote on the issues you consider crucial
to your implementation of ArchivesSpace during the next six months. If you’re not your institution’s member representative, get in touch with her or him to get the ball rolling. This is a great chance to think and talk about your priorities when it comes to
ArchivesSpace! Especially since we’re such a diverse community with varying needs, we’re hoping to hear from as many of our member institutions as possible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have any questions about the voting process, or if you need help with the JIRA account for your member representative, please let me know. Thanks in advance for your participation!<o:p></o:p></p>
