Full Version: 2015/2016 LDraw.org Steering Committee: Call for Nominations
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Per the LDraw.org Bylaws at http://www.ldraw.org/article/268.html, Subsection
6.03(a), the 2014/2015 Steering Committee hereby calls for the community to
nominate individuals as candidates for the 2015/2016 Steering Committee[1].

Please post nominations in response to this message. Nominations will only be
recognized if they are in response to this message.

Per ss.6.03(a), you must specify the name of the person you are nominating,
along with your name. Another member of the community must second the nomination
in a reply, and the nominee must publicly accept the nomination in the same
channel (direct reply to the nomination or second) in order to be valid. If the
nominee does not accept, it will be assumed that he or she has declined, and
they will not be placed on the ballot.

Nominations will close at 11:59 PM GMT on 28 February 2015. This means that to
be listed on the ballot, a candidate must have been nominated, seconded and must
have formally stated acceptance by that time.

The Steering Committee will give sufficient notice of the election and election
procedures per ss.6.03(b).

NOTE: subsection 6.03(b) states that elections should take place before March 1.
We interpret this to mean that we will commence the election on March 1, but
since it is electronic, it will run for 2 weeks, just as last time. The exact
time and date of start and end will be announced sometime very close to (but
after) 0000 GMT March 1.

Again, thanks to all of you for your commitment to the goals of the
organization, and in working with us this year. Please, stay involved with
LDraw.org and keep it moving forward!

Standards Committee (LSC). The Steering Committee sets the course for the LDraw
Organization while the Standards Committee deals with the LDraw File Format.
I Roland would like to nominate:

Philippe Hurbain
This topic might need a bit more attention, forgot all about it myself Smile

Also I personally find it kinda hard to just nominate people as it's often not very clear what there plans etc are, maybe in the future we should let people nominate them selves with some little 'why i want to be in the steerco' story Smile

Anyhow I will shortly nominate some of the 'usual suspects' to get things going, as there's only one month left.

Thank you very much, I appreciate this nomination!

But sadly I have to decline
because I will not be able to make enough time for this apart from parts authoring (which already is difficult due to Real Life ™).

However, should my opinion be desired on some questions, I already feel myself well heard in this forum.

Thank you both,

But I'll have to decline as I'm more into the technical stuff of things.
Thanks - I accept the nomination
I am really sorry, but I have to decline for this period due to personal reasons.
Thanks for the nominations. Going to be a busy IRL year for me so I feel I should decline.

Thank you both, but I need to decline. I would like to spend the (previous little) LDraw time I have this year seeing if I can't put together a connectivity-and-physics extension for LDraw that could make it into the library someday.

Cheers
Ben
Many thanks - I accept this nomination.

I accept the nomination. I will accept the seat only if no one new is interested.
