2006 Coordinator Election

[edit]

Election procedure added. Wally 10:32, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination and Election

[edit]
  • An election for Coordinator shall immediately be held. A nomination period of four days, following by an election of one week, should begin should this proposal reach consensus (I would consider consensus to be fifteen votes, considering the turnout in the last proposal; otherwise about 75% should more or less vote).
  • Nominations can be submitted by any member for themselves or any other member. Members have a right to decline.
  • Voting will be by approval and secret ballot. Once an impartial mediator is appointed, all members eligible to vote in the first proposal will be able to cast a vote in favor of as many candidates as they like. The candidate who gains the broadest approval (decided by votes cast for them divided by total members voting) will be declared elected. In the event of only one candidate, that candidate shall be declared elected.
  • The election begins on Friday, 3 February 2006 at 0000 hours UTC. It will last for one week; or, until Friday, 10 February 2006, at 0000 hours UTC.
  • Votes will be e-mailed to Theresa knott at Theresaknott@gmail.com. The phrase AMA Coordinator Election Ballot must be in the title. Within the e-mail, you must specify your username and list the candidate(s) you choose. Failure to do so will have your ballot rejected.
  • You may pick either candidate or both. As voting functions by approval method, you simply put down the names of any candidates which you find acceptable. Write-in votes are allowed; however, in the unlikely event a write-in candidate should prove victorious, they would have to first accept the office. Candidates who have already rejected nomination (Neigel von Teighen), accepted but subsequently withdrew (WGFinley), or been found ineligible (Hipocrite) will be automatically discounted, and the next-highest vote-winner elected, should they win.
  • A list of those members with suffrage is available on the 2006 Coordinator Election AMA page, as well as on the procedure page. The criteria for suffrage is membership as of 21:46 on 6 January 2006. Members who do not reach that criteria may not cast a ballot. Those who were members at that time but have since removed their names from the member list are likewise discounted.
  • All members who possess suffrage — they are seventy in number — will be informed of the election within the next day on their talk pages. Anyone who would like to volunteer to assist me in passing on the word is welcome to pick part of the list and do so; but all members must be informed by the start of voting.

Duties

[edit]
  • The Coordinator should direct discussion on various issues of importance to the AMA, in which all members must be allowed to voice opinions. The Coordinator will be empowered to write up a mission statement and such guidelines (such as ethical, or suggested procedures for advocates, etc.) given appropiate discussion. The Coordinator can delegate this duty to any member they choose. The mission statement must be presented for amendment and approved by a consensus vote, as must any body of guidelines. The Coordinator can appoint deputies to assist them if they choose.
  • The Coordinator will be acting, and will serve not less than four and not more than eight months.
