Save the date 4/11/26: Ban committee election (and what you need to know)

[Silas Barta]

A year has passed since choosing a committee, and that means it's time to elect a new one.

At the Saturday, April 11th meetup (about a month from now, at the usual Central Market location) we will vote on new members for the committee that handles banning decisions. Rules to know:

1) You may vote as long as you are willing to serve on the committee (or served on this past one).

2) We will use approval voting, so vote for everyone whom you trust to be on the committee, including yourself. (No list of candidates, just name everyone you wish to vote for; if they don't want to be on the committee, that vote will just be ignored.)

3) The top five vote-getters plus two alternates will form the committee.

4) Submit your vote anonymously in written form, taking care to obscure your handwriting. Votes will be publicly counted at the meetup.

5) If you can't make it in person, pass your ballot to someone who is attending and whom you trust. Anyone present can pass on the proxy votes for up to three people.
