****************************ORIGINAL MESSAGE****************************

   It's election time again for the CREN Board of Trustees!  We know that
it seems pretty early, but we expect to avoid the delays we encountered
in 1992. There are four positions open on the 12-member board, and the
three-year terms will begin January 1993.

   Anyone from a Member Institution may nominate candidates for a
Trustee position.  Please send your suggestions to the 1993 Nominating
Committee, NOMINATE@BITNIC (via BITNET) or Nominate@BITNIC.EDUCOM.edu
(via Internet).  The committee members are:

          Geraldine MacDonald, Chair      SUNY Binghamton
          Martin Solomon                  U of South Carolina
          Cliff Woodruff, Non-trustee     Tulane University


   Candidates must be employed by a Member Institution of CREN.
A listing of Member institutions, sorted by state, may be obtained
from LISTSERV.  Send your request to LISTSERV (via BITNET)

2.   Include individual's e-mail address and telephone number.

        would be an asset to CREN and its membership.  Include
        any relative experience you may know of, if possible.

   Announcements and updates on the election process will be forwarded
via electronic mail to the Member Representative list and BITNEWS
The membership vote will be conducted via a postal mailing to the
