Status: Under Review
Resolution #1
The Election Policy is amended as follows:
- The following text is added as Article III, Paragraph 4:
- 4. Reporting. The Election Committee shall report on the results of each election in the form of a statement as described in Article VII, Paragraph 5 of this Policy, and shall publish said statement, the ballot delivered to the members, and any exhibits to said ballot following the conclusion of the election.
- The title of Article IV is replaced with "CANDIDATE ELIGIBILITY".
- The title of Article V is replaced with "CANDIDATE DISCLOSURES".
- In Article VII, Paragraph 1, the text "twenty-four (24) hours" is replaced with the text "forty-eight (48) hours".
- In Article VII, Paragraph 2, the text "twenty-four (24) hours" is replaced with the text "forty-eight (48) hours".
- In Article VII, Paragraph 5, the text "forty-eight (48) hours" is replaced with the text "seventy-two (72) hours".
Notes
The following text is not part of the proposed resolution:
- In III.3, make explicit that there is an expectation that the election committee produces a certain kind of report after an election: the Ballot, Exhibits, and Results as shown on Meetings_(2019–2020)
- article VII -- in VII.1, VII.2 and VII.5, give committee a bit more time just to be realistic -- I suggest 48 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours
- Point to where the quorum is specified, for speedy clarity. It is in the bylaws, article V section 5. A reasonable practice after a election is held that does not meet the quorum is to recruit new members and quickly run a new election.
- ARTICLE IV - ELIGIBILITY - change to CANDIDATE ELIGIBILITY. The eligibility for the Election Committee is discussed in an earlier section.
