[sudo-discuss] Fwd: [omni-consensus] Nominations Open for Officers of the Omni Commons

[Yardena Cohen]

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.

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 at 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
