Re: [ga] nomination procedures

[<idno@tallship.net>]

My goal is to count the number of people whom have lended their support to
the two current proposals before the GA. That is the short term.

Although I personally feel that many people cannot differentiate between
those who are better suited for matters of process, and those who are
groomed and suited in matters requiring spokespeople, that is not an issue
which I choose to upset the currently popular movement ( basically the
first that I have seen here) to organize and actually make dicisions.

since that is actually occuring, the very notion that we are capable of
doing so may be what others will find as our most undesireable trait. When
divide and conquer no longer is an effective tactic, then either
cooperation or subjugation are the only viable alternatives.

You just never know sometimes...

Maybe the NC will actually respect this body for having a spine. I
certainly would not take seriously a body as fragmented as we have apeared
to be in the past. 

So, there are currently two proposals on the table, 

1.) The Single Candidate Proposal which has the support of seven
individuals and effectively promotes Karl Auerbach as that single
candidate, since he ahcieved the most support in the recent GA nominations
last month.

2.) The Two Candidate Proposal which has been duly seconded. This would
take the "Top Two from the recent DNSO GA nominations of last month who
were A.) Karl Auerbach, and B.) I'm not sure yet as I haven't looked back
yet to see.

So far, these are the only two, and we will apparently be choosing between
the two as the method we report to the NC as the method we will use, given
the fact that there are as of yet no other proposals.
