*'''''Nay''''' - Although I definitely support this idea in concept, I believe it's still too early to enact it. A year from now would probably be a better time to do it. Right now I think the actual organization-wide activity it could incite would be insignificant, and the board would end up looking almost identical. That would effectively extend the current board member terms by an extra year, actually making it even longer before there is a chance for more chapter diversity(unless we did this same thing again next year, which would kind of kill the point of having the term be longer than a year).

Forums: Index > Voting Forum > Early Election Cycle



Moving the Year of the Board of Directors Election

Last year, the Organization of Gamers & Roleplaying Enthusiasts was incorporated and a very quick and simple selection of individuals was made for the first Board of Directors. This quick election did not follow what was later established as the proper election process as there was not yet a process. Following our terms of three calendar years, our next election is not until the year 2013 and that new Board would take office in 2014.

I am proposing, however, that we hold a proper election cycle this year, thus re-establishing the 3 year terms and altering the years of future elections. I am proposing this for the following reasons:

  1. To help establish and grow communication and networking between members across chapters;
  2. To allow newer chapter members a vote, and possibly even run, bringing new blood into the organization's leadership;
  3. To allow current board members to truly campaign for their role, and allow those members who joined the board initially to help us get off-the-ground to take a backseat and bring in new blood; and
  4. To ensure that our first few full years of legal status are helmed by individuals dedicated fully by a measurable contribution regularly (work, not necessarily money).

I believe that such an alteration of our current timeline should not be done without a unanimous vote (though that can be discussed below in the Discussion section if you don't agree), and that each of us who intend to run for any position should state our intent upfront to prevent any conflict of interest. Anyways, it is with this note that I now call a vote on the above. If this is done, following the timeline established in the proper election process, members wishing to run for the Board will immediately need to state their intent after June 15th.

General Discussion

As established in the Constitution, the Director does not vote unless a tie breaking vote is required. However, the Director has noted his agreement with doing this.
