| Elections for the Advisor Board
shall take place at the time set by the Board of Directors and
announced in either the Call for Election or the Notice of Annual
Meeting. Each member group, through its Designated
Representative, may then vote for the number of Advisors to be
elected, either by votes cast by its Designated Representative at
a meeting expressly called for such purpose, or by ballot
procedure. The candidates receiving the most votes cast shall be
elected, except if more than one of them are active members of
the same member user group, in which case only the candidate
receiving the highest vote total of candidates from that member
group shall be elected, and other candidates who are members of
the same member group shall not be considered. For this purpose,
a candidate is not an "active member" if he or she belongs to a
group other than his or her primary group for the purpose of
receiving the newsletter and other announcements, but does not
otherwise regularly participate in such other group. A member
group may vote for up to the number of candidates to be elected,
but cannot give any one candidate more than one (1) vote.

| The Board of Directors may set forth such other election
procedures as it deems proper, consistent with these Bylaws and
the Articles, in the Call for Election to be issued during the
third quarter of each year, in the Notice of Annual Meeting, and,
with respect to items needing only to be communicated to
announced candidates, by any means calculated to reach all
announced
candidates.
