Constitutional Convention Nominations

notyoueither · August 26, 2002, 07:24

OK.

Here is the thread for nominations. You may throw your hat in the ring, but you are not eligible until someone nominates you and another seconds it. Finally, each candidate must acknowledge their acceptance of the nomination in this thread for it to be final.

Nominations will last 7 days from this post.

4 people are needed. If more than 4 are nominated, a poll will be held to choose those who go on to the Convention.

Those sent on will be tasked with writing a comprehensive Constitution and Code of Laws taking current and past material into account.

This will not be a responsibilty lightly taken. There is a lot of material to review and a lot of threads to digest.

I nominate Togas.

adaMada · August 26, 2002, 07:41

I second the nomination for Togas.

GodKing · August 26, 2002, 10:14

I will be happy to nominate the following:

Togas (already seconded above, so this will be a third??)
Apocalyps
notyoueither
adaMada
OPD

I have no idea if any of you I listed above are even interested, however based on your posts receintly I think any of the above would do an excelent job on this project.

Togas · August 26, 2002, 12:51

I accept nomination.

I would like to nominate jdjdjd.

Vlad Antlerkov · August 26, 2002, 13:05

I second the nominations for jdjdjd and Apoc.

jdd2007 · August 26, 2002, 15:32

i second ada-mada. who has tons of time?

civman2000 · August 26, 2002, 17:02

i nominate ninot and epistax

adaMada · August 26, 2002, 17:24

I'm willing to accept the nomination, but I think that there are many better canidates here than I am, and if enough other people accept the nominations than I will probably drop out instead of taking votes away from people who, in my opinion, will probably do a better job than I can.

adaMada · August 26, 2002, 18:55

I second the nomination for notyoueither

GodKing · August 26, 2002, 19:55

I would happily recomend jdjdjd, but he is a justice and also currently testing the regional administrators position (for paris area...). I would suggest we ask if he is interested.

Epistax · August 26, 2002, 20:00

jdjdjd, togas, apoc, nye, ninot

We have many good choices. Perhaps those without enough free time should deny the nomination.

Ninot · August 26, 2002, 20:07

I reject my nomination

no offense to you all, im just too occupied for serious work right now. (got back from my first real 10 hour day of school, maybe ill have a different answer later

)

i dont offer any nominations either, i dont really know how busy anyone is to justify nominating them or not.

sorry, im keeping my hands off.

Apocalypse · August 26, 2002, 20:57

I accept the nomination and I thank you all who nominated me. I promise I will work hard and try to conduct the convention much like I do my tech threads, by getting the best plan through without any personal bias.

I am just wondering if it is possible to nominate more than one person. I am asking because nye only nominated Togas. I will post my nominations when this question is answered and I have more time to think it over.

Apocalypse · August 26, 2002, 21:26

Right now I second Epi. I would forth (or fifth) nye, but it looks like he is already a lock to be in.

Epistax · August 26, 2002, 21:30

And I must mimic Ninot's response and step away from the nomination (although I am thankful). School starting in a little over a week, plus the court plus the $ game plus school plus .. well.. more pluses.

Good luck to this team. Good picks all around.

Thank you.

Apocalypse · August 26, 2002, 21:33

That's a shame. Time to rethink who I will nominate/second.

Darkness' Edge · August 26, 2002, 22:05

I'll throw my support behind adamada - I think he'd be fantastic.

notyoueither · August 27, 2002, 00:32

OK. I can do it. Especially since some of the students are going to be away.

One of the old guard from the initial discussions and first term government might be very useful.

Anyone have any ideas? Spiffor?

notyoueither · August 27, 2002, 00:34

Apocalypse,

The Enabling Act does not limit you to nominating or seconding 1 person. So I think it's fair to do more.

I might be poor form to both nominate and second the same person though. I think that would be implicit.

Duddha · August 27, 2002, 00:35

This may be adressed somewhere else but how are the nominees picked?

notyoueither · August 27, 2002, 01:15

In the Enabling Act, the Select Committee will consist of 4 citizens (they appeared on the Citizen list prior to the opening of this thread)

If only 4 are nominated and accept, they are it. If more than 4 are nominated and accept, then there is a multiple choice poll. The 4 highest vote getters go on to the Committee.

Nominatioms last 7 days, the poll would last 7 days (if needed).
