[council] FW: [ga] GA Adcom Election Committee

["Shapiro, Ted" <Ted_Shapiro@mpaa.org>]

This is not to say that I am against this proposal. But, instead it raises a
point that I mentioned after the Santiago meetings. What is GA consensus?
Who determines it? When do we have it? I raise this again because as we go
forward there will be more and more calls for GA consensus on various
points. I thought that the NC had a role in determinig GA consensus. Any
thoughts?

Dear All,

There is consensus that an elected GA Adcom should be established. We have
subsequently received a number of suggestions on preferred election
procedures and also relations to the NC, including potential bylaws
modifications.

In the meantime, we should advance the process by forming a small group, an
"election committee" from the GA to draft the election announcement and
manage the voting. We believe that a simple method is  preferred and each GA
member should have a single vote to cast for each regional seat.

Members of the election committee, in fairness to all contestants, should be
persons who do not intend to run for a GA Adcom seat.

This is therefore a call for three voluteers to kick of the process. The
volunteers should be recommended and the volunteer must accept.

The election committee needs to be in-place by October, 9. We allow for 2
weeks of nominating candidates for the Adcom and a week for voting
just-in-time for LA when the Adcom will be installed.

Nii
