Instructions have also been sent to all eligible Glasgow 2024 Members by email, using the email address associated with their membership. They encourage members to check their junk/spam/promotions folders for this email if they do not appear to have received it because voter notification messages may be flagged as spam by some email systems.

Only members of the 2024 Worldcon are eligible to vote on the final ballot. To join the convention, see the Glasgow 2024 Membership Page.

“I recognized that reference!”
A recording of the Town Hall has now been posted to Glasgow’s YouTube channel.
I had to google “20:17 GMT” to get the reference. Was that the intent, or is it well known among fans other than myself?
edit: oh it’s the same date too….
I recognized the July 20th and looked up the 20:17
Cool. I knew July 20th was Moon Day but this is even cooler.
