There may be some confusion... the class rules cited in the original announcement John put on the official class forum say there has to be an appropriate ballot paper prepared and circulated. However the follow up post contained a message from Hans (and which was also contained in an email Marcus sent out) saying "You should respond by either an email sent to... or by post to..." and stated exactly what has to be in that message for the vote to be counted:
Your vote should clearly identify you as a Financial Fleet Member, so please include your Name, Address and email address (and, if possible, your Association joining date).
In either case you should simply state YES or NO – any discussion, comment or proviso contained in your vote will render it void.
The wording of the rules seems to imply we are going to receive a pre-formatted form (e.g. paper in mail or pdf in email) that we have to send back, but the message from Hans suggests that the "appropriate ballot paper" is just whatever you send to Marcus, provided it meets the content requirements outlined above.
I'm not arguing for one or other, just pointing out that different people may infer two different things from the two separate messages.
