Re: [atlarge-discuss] ELECTIONS AND REVIVAL ORGANIZATION ????
Bruce!
I agree with everything in your mail (below) and I'm delighted we're finally
moving towards simple, sensible action. EXCEPT for one section on the
timing:
We cannot possibly (in my opinion) start the voting next Saturday. If we're
going to have a respectable process for this election, it is essential we
have a period of time for:
(A) Nominations
(B) Statements from Candidates (otherwise voters cannot make informed
judgements) and Questions from Members (they have the right to question
candidates to clarify their candidature
(C) Voting
I propose that a link is provided on the ballot e-mails, leading to the
webpages where candidates' statements can be read. I am happy to do this at
icannatlarge.co.uk if you like. We also need a page to formally list who
nominates and seconds. Lastly, it would be helpful to have a page where
members can post their questions.
I praise you and Jefsey to moving towards a simple and effective election,
but urge you to allow time for (A) (B) and (C) in the process.
yrs,
Richard Henderson
