-nfp, but I'd vastly prefer that replies be on -nfp.) |

Ideally, I'd like to have trustee elections finished by 16 May. Of |
5 |
course, that means we need to decide how to handle the elections. |
6 |
Here's a proposal: |
7 |
|
8 |
1. Trustee wannabees need to e-mail -nfp with a statement to that |
9 |
effect. Any eligible foundation member may run for a trustee |
10 |
position. The deadline for announcing candidacy is one week prior |
11 |
to the beginning of voting. |
12 |
2. A ballot containing the names of all candidates will be assembled |
13 |
which essentially just has a check box for each name. |
14 |
3. Voting will last for one week. |
15 |
4. All candidates who reach or surpass a threashold of 50% yes votes |
16 |
are thereby elected as trustees. |
17 |
5. In the case that fewer than four trustees are elected outright (I believe |
18 |
that by NM law there needs to be a president, a secretary, a |
19 |
treasurer, and possibly something else?), then the top four vote |
20 |
recipients are elected as trustees. |
21 |
|
22 |
Notice that I didn't say that it was necessarily a good proposal. I'd |
23 |
like to avoid needing an initial vote on how many trustees are needed, |
24 |
so this proposal deliberately leaves the number of trustees that one |
25 |
wants to vote for up to the individual members. The threshold of 50% |
26 |
was picked entirely at random. Better ideas cheerfully accepted! |
27 |
|

Best, |
