2012/2013 LDraw.org Steering Committee: Call for Nominations - Willy Tschager - 2012-01-10

Per the LDraw.org Bylaws at http://www.ldraw.org/article268.html, Subsection
6.03(a), the 2011/2012 Steering Committee hereby calls for the community to
nominate individuals as candidates for the 2012/2013 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 29 February 2012. 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!

Willy Tschager
On behalf of the LDraw.org Steering Committee

Standards Committee (LSC). The Steering Committee sets the course for the LDraw
Organization while the Standards Committee deals with the LDraw File Format.

I therefor decline.

Reminder Re: 2012/2013 LDraw.org Steering Committee: Call for Nominations - Tim Gould - 2012-02-12

This is a reminder to Kevin Clague, Chris Dee, Jim DeVona and Allen Smith that you've been nominated but neither accepted nor declined yet.

We still require at least two more nominees to have a full SteerCo

I accept, but didn't want to stand in competition with any "new blood".

Re: Reminder Re: 2012/2013 LDraw.org Steering Committee: Call for Nominations - Tim Gould - 2012-02-13

Hi Chris,

The rules state when people have to accept, but not when they can pull out. So if you'd like to retract between closure of nomination and voting you're free to do so.

Re: 2012/2013 LDraw.org Steering Committee: Call for Nominations - Tim Gould - 2012-02-28

I, Tim Gould, accept this nomination on the proviso there are less than 5 nominees (excluding myself) at closing time of the nomination period.

PS. Thanks, Scott. Hopefully someone else will step up though. Would be good to have some new blood.

I am honored by the consideration, but I must respectfully decline.

My apologies for overlooking this too; I've been hunkered down building a real-world MOC for the last few weeks.

Re: 2012/2013 LDraw.org Steering Committee: Call for Nominations - Jim DeVona - 2012-02-29

Thank you for the nomination (and thanks also to Orion for the email alert about it). I feel that I have not recently been sufficiently involved in LDraw discussion to have a good sense of needs and directions, so I must decline.

Re: 2012/2013 LDraw.org Steering Committee: Call for Nominations - Ken Drew - 2012-02-29

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to decline, but thank you for the consideration.

Sorry to do this late, but I didn't realize that I had been nominated.
