"I OBJECT to this process"
While I have no personal issue with Janice serving as SC, I believe that a
process must be in place so that an election can be held. I believe that it
is inappropriate to handle the election in this manner for several reason.
1 - A "Term of Office" should be established first prior to any election so
that we know how long we're voting a person into office for. We shouldn't
be setting up a person and then never having the opportunity to hold an
election again - my preference 2 years (with the individual eligible to be
reelected any number of successive 2 year periods).
2 - This is not an Urgent matter - the USGenWeb Bylaws state that the
Assistant SC carries out the duties when the SC cannot. There is time to
setup an election committee. In the PAGenWeb last fall we had elections and
had 4 members of the project serve as the committee to count the votes. I
believe that our National Coordinator set up a voting form (password
protected) so that the results of the voting were known to the committee
which tabulated the results and reported it to the project.
