Nomination Committee: details

[Madeleine Werner]

• Who else is on the committee?

• What is the time commitment for being on the board?
• What are the current proportions of representatives to the board? 
  • As in: residential, business, worker and real estate owner
  • Are there any persons receiving supportive services on the board? 
  • How will unhoused people access the council at all let alone consistently attend the board? 

• Are we collecting resumes and letters of intent?
• Who is the selector to run? Is it the committee, or are we the outreach arm to find people to nominate?
• Is there a signature requirement to secure nomination?

​Hi Madeleine,

Maybe meeting with the current board is necessary to nail down the process based on the current by-laws? 

I am also suggesting the full complement of folks offering to help with elections - plus you - all gather to review the process - from nominations to elections - and agree on what needs to happen and how to get it done. Time is tight to be sure. Someone offered to schedule a meeting but I don't remember who that was and have not yet been contacted. Just added you to the one doc I've seen circulated. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eRzUbyVdP-6TtrY8Or-LcU4N9LsSCEAnjqyzjxb8JBA/edit?usp=sharing

Also, for sure we need to ask each current board member if they are running for re-election or not.

[Sara Oaklander]

And the by-laws need to guide what happens, as I'm sure you know. What I am unclear about is the status of proposed amendments related to the election process.

Thanks for circulating, Sara!  I had volunteered for the election committee, but my name isn't on the list so I just requested access to the document (or that it be added on my behalf).

Best,

Rachel
