|> Dear GA Chair,
|>
|> the NC Transfer Task Force, from which you have resigned,
|> will start their work with a conference call next week.
|>
|> During the nomination phase of the election, the GA expected
|> to send one representative. Three candidates have come forward
|> to become this (single) representative. Now, there is the
|> possibility that two or three representatives (one voting,
|> one or two non-voting) can be sent. The election cannot be
|> changed midway without distorting the GA voters' choice:
|> It would lead to an automatic election of candidates.
|> The GA voters should therefore have the right to choose
|> whether to send any of the candidates to the Task Force.
|>
|> Since elections during the upcoming holidays would be
|> very inconvenient and the Task Force work is about to begin,
|> we ask you to quickly start elections for a GA representative
|> on the Task Force, following the approach suggested by
|> Jonathan Weinberg
|> (http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga/Arc08/msg03615.html):
|>
|> On the ballot, allow GA members to vote YES/NO on each of the
|> three candidates. The rule would be that the candidate with the
|> most YES votes is the representative, and the next highest
|> vote-getter is the observer, except that a candidate will not be
|> deemed elected to *any* position unless he receives YES votes
|> on more than half the ballots submitted. That gives the GA
|> the option to elect two people if it chooses, but it also gives a
|> majority of the GA the ability to say that it doesn't want
|> particular people representing it on the TF (as either
|> "representative" or "observer").
|>
|> Please make sure that the GA is represented on the Task
|> Force, and please act quickly, so that the Secretariat
|> can set up the election in time before the holidays!
|>
|> Regards,
|> /// Alexander
