Board Elections 2005
Guest
Canadian Content is getting a Board of Directors. The Board will consist of seven members and will deal with the running of the forum only. This is being done to take pressure off of Andem, who is busy with the rest of the site and his own life, as well as to establish consistent rules and procedures. It will also give posters who have an issue with moderators or other board members a place to voice their concerns.
The Board of Directors will be elected by the members of the Canadian Content community. A new election will be held once a year.
The Board of Directors will choose a Chair from within their membership. The chair will only vote in case of a tie.
Eligibility
All members of the Canadian Content community who have at least 50 posts and have held membership for at least three months are eligible to both vote and run for the Board of Directors.
Moderators cannot sit on the Board of Directors, and must resign as moderators should they decide to run, but their Moderator positions will be held for them until the end of the election or, should they be elected, until such time as they leave the Board of Directors.
Nominations
Nominations will be held on the open board. If you want to run, or if you wish to nominate somebody else, please do it in the appropriate thread. A roster of all eligible candidates will be posted before the vote begins.
Voting
Because of the problems with internet polling, each voter should send a private message to Board Election 2005. They will be counted by the Canadian Content Adminstrator. Each eligible member will be allowed one vote. The seven candidates with the highest number of ballots will sit on the board.
Please put “Ballot” in the subject line of your PM. You must vote for somebody on the official roster or your ballot will not be counted.
Results
The full results of the election will be posted on the forum. All ballots, including spoiled ballots, will be retained for verification of results in case of a dispute.
In case of a tie between candidates, a run off election will be held one week after the results of the first election are posted.
