Hey Sudoers - anybody want to be Omni's treasurer, secretary or president? Or can you think of anybody who would be a good fit? These positions are unpaid, low on decision-making power and medium on responsibility. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: MaryAnn Tenuto-Sanchez <enapoyo(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Mar 30, 2020 at 10:35 AM Subject: [omni-consensus] Nominations Open for Officers of the Omni Commons To: <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org>rg>, discuss <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Dear Omni Collectives, At the Omni Delegate’s Assembly (Executive Board) meeting on Thursday, March 26, I agreed to act as Interim Secretary to initiate an election of officers; specifically, President, Treasurer and Secretary. To follow through on that responsibility, I am announcing that nominations are officially open for those 3 positions. All 3 positions have a 1-year term of office. Only members of Omni collectives and community members actively participating in Omni working groups are eligible to be nominated. Nominations will remain open until Noon on April 5. Please send nominations to me at: enapoyo(a)gmail.com and be sure to include the email address and phone number of the person you nominate so that we can reach them to verify acceptance. A number of people have already been nominated, and now the elections group (myself, Patrik and Matt) will contact them to find out if they accept the nomination. Meanwhile, nominations remain open until noon on April 5 to give the collectives time to nominate other folks if they wish. Delegates should forward this announcement to the internal list of members of your collectives because not all members of collectives are on the consensus list. Once we have determined who the candidates are we will send the names to the consensus list and delegates will inform their collectives, hold a meeting and determine for whom their delegate will vote at the annual meeting on April 23. My understanding of the process is that the delegate for each collective has one vote on each officer position. Candidates should submit a statement of why they want to be an officer and send it to the consensus list so everyone can read it before the collectives vote. No Negative campaigning; just statements of why you want to be an officer. I am also attaching the Omni Commons Bylaws, which spell out the duties of each office. In advance, I want to thank everyone for their cooperation in this process. In solidarity, Mary Ann _______________________________________________ consensus mailing list consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/consensus
