Dear Polling Committee Members,
Dear Watchdogs
Dear Candidates
Dear Nominees
Dear Members
I am Jefsey Morfin and I am to report the status and the coming events of
the "icannatlarge.org" Panel election. I hope you will pardon my Frenglish.
You may post comments on the icannatlarge.org mailing list or send a mail
to the Polling Committee Members at atlarge@execlub.org (your privacy is
totally respected at this address: please indicate your name and e-mail in
your text if you wish a response).
1. election organization and announcement
This election has been called by a motion proposed by Vittorio Bertola,
then Chair of the Panel. It was unanimously voted by the Panel. It has been
organized by a mail of the remaining Members of the Panel (Eric Dierker,
Jefsey Morfin and Bruce Young) sent to all the Members of our organization
on the list indirectly obtained from Vittorio Bertola, after he resigned.
This announcement created a Polling Committee. It is made of these three
Panelists and called for Watchdogs.
1013 Members have received the announcement and will be sent this mail. 59
members have not updated their mail address and did not receive the
announcement.
2. nominations and acceptances
The announcement defined deadlines: May 8th 00:00 GMT for nominations and
May 15 00:00 GMT for acceptances. To the request of the organizer of the
icannatlarge.com forum, nominations were extended until May 13th 00:00 GMT.
163 seconded nominations were received. As permitted by the announcement
many had been seconded by non disclosed nominators, but all of them have
been endorsed by two or three public nominators.
All the nominations, seconding, name of the nominators, number of non
disclosed nominators, and the received answers are published at

3. debating and voting periods
Considering the number of candidates and the interest of a longer debate,
also the load imposed on its Members and on the Watchdogs, the Polling
Committee has decided to modify the voting period as follows:
==> Sun May 25 00:00 GMT
Ballots will be e-mailed to the Members, and voting begins.
Each ballot will include an ID code unique to each member.
The list of unique IDs will be provided to the Watchdogs.
Ballots with more than one destinee are discarded.
Ballot replies to atlarge@execlub.org will be forwarded to a mailbox opened
for each watchdog.
Only the first ballot received for each unique ID code will be counted.
==> Sun Jun 1st 00:00 GMT
Voting ends. Watchdogs will collect and count the votes, and publish the
results on the Discuss list.
The watchdog's list will be posted to the Web site.
4. Organization of the debate
The debate is held on the icannatlarge.org Discuss mailing list.
To subscribe to the Discuss list, send an empty e-mail message to:
atlarge-discuss-subscribe@lists.fitug.de
It is expected this debate to be courteous and exempt from any ad hominem.
Non-Members are welcome. It is expected these guests will respect others
and be respected as if they were a Member.
From now on the Watchdogs will receive an anonimized copy of the mails
sent to atlarge@execlub.org.
5. Ballot text
Announcement said :
==> Fri May 16 00:00 GMT
Final ballot text and voter list supplied to Jefsey Morfin.
Due to the change of dates, Members and Candidates can still send
suggestions for the ballot document to Jefsey Morfin until Thursday 21
00:00 GMT. He will be responsible for splitting the questions in consistent
themes and for the presentation of the ballot.
Each question will be headed by: the voter ID, a question flag, the number
of the question. This way, anyone consulting the global file of the ballots
will be able with a simple "grep" command to retrieve:
- all the answers of a voter,
- all the answers to a question,
- the answer of a voter to a question
and to know if a voter voted several times; without ever knowing who the
voters are.
The list of the voters will permit the Watchdogs to filter the global
ballot file and to only retain the first ballot of registered Members.
----------------
Your Member Voter ID (VID) is "xxxxxxx". It is a random unique member.
A random 2 letters checker will be added for this vote. Please do not
disclose your VID.
The list of the Members' VID and e-mails has been provided to the Polling
Commitee Members. The list of all the VID with checkers will be provided to
the Polling Committee and Watchdogs before the begining of the vote.
