2014/2015 LDraw.org Steering Committee: Call for Nominations

[Orion Pobursky]

Per the LDraw.org Bylaws at http://www.ldraw.org/article/268.html, Subsection
6.03(a), the 2013/2014 Steering Committee hereby calls for the community to
nominate individuals as candidates for the 2014/2015 Steering Committee[1].

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

Only LDraw organization members are permitted to nominated or vote. Since we have
yet to implement a new membership system, we consider you a member if you have
signed up for the forums and have an active account with a real name attached

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 2013. 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!

Orion Pobursky
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.

Thanks but I have to decline for this time.

[Chris Dee]

Thanks, I accept.

[Max Martin Richter]

May I point to this topic again...

We are still waiting for any (hopefully positive) signal from Magnus, Tim, Philippe and Allen.
If we don't get any signal, this means that you decline. But actually there are only 3 of 5 people available for the next SteerCo year...

/Max

[Philippe Hurbain]

Meant to reply then forgot. If we don't get any other volunteers I accept - but I'll happily give my seat if someone else wants it.

[Tim Gould]

I'm the same as Philo. I'll fill out a fifth seat if I'm required, and will do what I have to. But I'd rather focus my limited time on the Standards Commitee if I get into it.

Tim

[Max Martin Richter]

Would you add this message to your Nomination, too?! Thanks!

/Max

[Tim Gould]

As per below, I'll fill out a fifth seat if I'm required, and will do what I have to. But I'd rather focus my limited time on the Standards Commitee if I get into it.

So I accept if and only if my acceptance is required to make a full SteerCo.
