[EURO-Discuss] No voting on board seats

[Annette Muehlberg]

All,
the link has not been updated:

Strong objections have been raised to the proposal of having only 7 board seats. 

The alternative proposal was to just take all nominees and let them form the board (10 in case Sebastian and Veronica are going to be ALAC members, 9 in case Patrick and Veronika are going to be ALAC members and 9 in case Sebastian and Patrick are going to be ALAC members) plus the non-voting ALAC members.

We just state that for this period, depending on the outcome of the ALAC selection the board will either have 9 or 10 voting members.

Right after the selection/election of the ALAC members we could celebrate them and the Board too. No further election, hassle, email correspondence on this issue needed.


The current text on the website (link below) assumes, there is a ballot, it assumes certain number of seats... this has to be updated. 

This whole procedure is not transparent enough. The following can help: Any text on the website should be posted via email too.

Quote from website
"The actual ballot will work as follows: 
Each voter will rank, in order of preference, ALL the board nominees. 
The voting system will then produce a list, which incorporates the preferences expressed. 
The board members who will be elected are the top 'N' listed, from the top of the list on down. The Number 'N' shall be either: 
In the case that no objection is raised to the call's recommendation of seven (7) members: 7 
In the case that an objection is raised, then the number shall be that number from the selection above (5,7,9) which receives the most votes. "
