Per the LDraw.org Bylaws at [color=black]http://www.ldraw.org/article/268.html[/color], Subsection
6.03(a), the 2016/2017 Steering Committee hereby calls for the community to
nominate individuals as candidates for the 2017/2018 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 2017. 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!
