RationalWiki talk:2011 board of trustees election/Nominations

Trying to figure out the best way to collect and organize nominations/acceptance. Is a table the best bet? Other ideas? Tmtoulouse (talk) 19:55, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Bullet list. Example:


 * Human - (already on board for this year)
 * TK - not eligible, not edit in last three months
 * Susan
 * Blue - (Blue's signature here indicates acceptance)
 * CUR - underage
 * Marble-headed poop skater, very silly party. (if signed and eligible, is nominated)

 * Is it worth reiterating who is on the appointed board and is holding on to the positions. I.e., us. 19:20, 10 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah. Tmtoulouse (talk) 19:23, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, have people been notified of nominations? 04:27, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Hmmmmm, OK
I note I am nominated. I like the idea and I have RW's best interests at heart however being in NZ poses some logistical challenges, I am going to be in and out of contact over the next few months and I am not sure what is required of a board member. If someone could point me to, or describe, what the role entails then I can have a better understanding of what needs to be done. P.S. Today is my 30th Birthday so you'll excuse my confusion. It has been a long day/night/solar rotation. Aceword up 05:30, 11 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Best bet is probably here. If that doesn't answer your questions or if you have more let me know. Tmtoulouse (talk) 09:02, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Better link should be on nom nom nom page, people are getting confused with it being a lot of work, when it really isn't. Agamemnon (talk) 09:07, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, basically, you are looking at 4 meetings a year, once every 3 months. Most of the "hard work" was done all earlier. Tmtoulouse (talk) 09:09, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
 * A bit of bouncing stuff around via email. That doesn't require things to be in the same time zone. 12:03, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, shit, sounds like fun. However I am out of action all feb and April. Aceword up 12:50, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Meetings would likely need to be held in the following months:


 * January
 * May
 * August
 * December

The board is its own governing body though, guided by the by-laws so nothing is set in absolute stone. Also if someone can't make a given meeting then its okay, we need I think 3 members present for a quorum. That is probably it for the "specific time, specific place" requirements. There very well maybe other things that need to get done, but e-mail can get most of that done allowing the board members to do what they can, when they can there. Even official voting is allowed via e-mail if needed. Tmtoulouse (talk) 18:31, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
