Hello Everyone-
I have been reading the emails on the above topic and of course have to get
my two cents in.
1-I don't feel we should have a limitation on the term the State Coordinator
can hold the position. As others have stated in their emails-one usually
will step down if for some reason they do not wish to continue in a given
position. Also again "if it ain't broken-don't fix it".
2-Is it possible to have some kind of quideline (if there isn't one already)
such as upon the vacancy of a position-an election can then be held?
3-As for a majority, per cent or quorum for voting. I have mixed feelings on
this matter. Many people (not only in this type of election) choose not to
vote or state their own opionion, yet those you have voted make the rules,
quidelines, etc. We held a vote within the Wisconsin GenWeb Project a couple
of years ago- I do not remember what it was for-perhaps Tina or Nancy
Sampson will remember. Nancy and I volunteered to count ballots etc. and
this was not an open forum. It was set up where the county coordinators
voted by emailing their vote to either Nancy or myself and then Nancy and I
would double check votes, count, etc. This was all done through private
emails. The election information was posted on this maillist-but all voting
etc. was done through private emailing and kept confidential. Tina didn't
even how they were voting etc. until the polls had closed. If I remember
quite a few cc's voted. Would this be possible to do again if there were a
need for an eletion or vote of any kind? I don't mean Nancy and I would have
to do it, but any volunteers. Or the idea MAK states about a poll etc.
set-up some place would work also.
Nancy, can you add anything to this above.
4-I agree with a topic of discussion on the mail list may be a way of
promoting discussion. I have been giving thought to what topics might be
used and will forward any ideas I might come up with.
