### Nominations Revealed MLO and SA/ACT ###

[Chubb]

Round 2 of Nominations for the Unfilled positions of MLO and State Representatives for SA/ACT.

As you may note, the SA state rep role has been widened including ACT. Since there were no nominations for the SA rep position in the first round the Administration team has decided to open the position up to ACT as well. What the means this means is now both members from SA and ACT can self nominate or be nominated for the State Representative position

Intro
As per the constitution section titled "Annual Elections" nominations will be open for 1 full week. This is just a heads up to allow members to start seriously thinking about who they wish to nominate but also give some thought if they want to self-nominate or run if they are nominated.

As you are aware, there is a vote in progress regarding a number of changes to the structure. Once the vote is concluded we will have a definate idea as to the structure of the new management team going forward.

*The process to nominate will be an initial "blind" nomination process.
*All members (Premium and non-premium) will be able to participate in the nominations cycle ONLY. Voting will still be restricted to PREMIUM ONLY.
*During this nomination process no-one (except for myself and VRX_Pete) will be able to see any of the posts in the "Nominations 2012" sub-forum whilst the nominations process is in flight.
*At the conclusion of the nominations period, all nominees will be approached via PM and advised of what positions they have been nominated for. They will have 72 hours to decide if and which nomination(s) they wish to accept prior to going to elections. As per the rules they can only run for one position if they have been nominated for multiple positions.
*Once all the nominees have responded, accepted and committed to running in the elections, the "Nominations 2012" sub-forum will be released for public view but all threads locked to prevent editing.
*The nominees once accepting the nomination cannot pull out of the election. No further nominations will be accepted unless there were no nominations for a position to start off with with no pre-existing elected individual holding that position.
*At the same time the "Candidate Showcase" sub-forum will be opened with a thread for each nominee. It will allow each nominee to make their pitch to the members, why they should be elected and I hope outline what plans they have for the club and members. Members can also ask their questions. This will be opened prior to elections and remain open during the elections.

Why the "blind" nomination process?
Simple. I do not want fresh talent some how feeling intimidated by virtue that they only got 2 nominations over someone else's 10 nominations, or the situation where perhaps they feel like they are "stealing" a position over someone who's been around longer and feel that the competitor is somehow more "deserving" of the position over them. No one is "entitled" to a position.

Ok so all the nominees have now got in contact with me and I feel it is just to let you all know who the nominees are. At the moment I am away from home using my phone so I can't start the voting process or open the nomination sub forum until monday morning. In the mean time I hope this table will do.
