I speak southern, and with the current government that's a plus... Well, its a plus as in I can understand him, though honestly I think I'd rather not.

So accepting the nomination are xoxoxoBruce, Wolf, SteveDallas, BigV and Kagen404. Any last-minute acceptances?

Is that decipherable? :::bans self:::

In order for "everyone from Audiogalaxy" to be accepted as a nomination, "everyone from Audiogalaxy" would have to accept it. Not just yourself, but everyone.

Oh ya? Well, uh, ya. Damn. You're good. Too good. Let's see here, hmmm . . .
. . . okay, that's it, I've checked with everybody and they said go ahead with it!

Well that would require a rules change. But Robert's Rules of Order specifically states that if proxy voting is to be used, that must be determined very early in the process. Otherwise, a voter can call for proxies at the last minute to effect the result. It's very strict about proxies.

"Affect" :-)

Robert's Rules? Robert's Rules "hate freedom" . . .

SteveDallas · 05-19-2006, 03:11 PM

UT, Does Robert's Rules say anything about disqualification from being nominated?

Undertoad · 05-19-2006, 03:17 PM

No it only covers how meetings operate in general, how deliberative bodies deliberate, that sort of thing.

Happy Monkey · 05-19-2006, 03:21 PM

I accept if it is possible to do a good job without consistent email access. If not, then I think there's already a pretty good pool of nominees.

Flint · 05-19-2006, 03:21 PM

How do deliberative bodies deliberate? Deliberately.

Elspode · 05-19-2006, 03:24 PM

I accepted, but did admit that I would be largely unavailable to do a good job for a couple of weeks, so I should probably continue to be left off the list. There's plenty of good ones there anyway.

Undertoad · 05-19-2006, 03:25 PM

I really don't think you need the email prompting; one could just get away with deleting spam on reading the new posts, and still be a good mod. We're not that deluged (yet)
