1982 Board of Director nomination/volunteer thread

[Alan T]

The current term for our board of directors ends at the end of the 1982 season. I would like to thank Chief, ekcut and Turner for their contributions to the league and their help in making some pretty difficult decisions at times. Any or all three are of course welcome to continue for another term on the board if they and the league want to.

There is also a change that was approved by the board starting the next class. In order to not have all three board positions empty at the same time every 4 years, the years of service have changed to 6 years per board term, with one position ending every 2 seasons.

This season we will be nominating/voting for the following positions and terms:

1) Republic League representative (either 4 year or 6 year term depending on who is selected as the at large rep).

2) Continental League representative (either 4 year or 6 year term depending on who is selected as the at large rep).

3) At-large representative, can come from either league. (2 year term).

I would like to have people nominate in this thread whom they would like to see as their reps for their league. The only requirement is the person being nominated has to be willing to do the job as well. (It is not super time intensive, just have to be willing to discuss issues in PMs maybe 2 or 3 nights a week. Perhaps a total of 10-12 PMs a week total).

In the case we have multiple nominations/volunteers, we will have a vote between the contenders.

[Alan T]

Also, per league rules, the commissioner for the league (myself) is up for re-election every 4 seasons. To make things easy, please post below if you want to vote someone else in as the commish. Otherwise we'll assume everyone is ok with me.

Alan is just fine with me

[Chief Rum]

I would like to see kaosfere and Tim Guru considered for spots. from the CL or for an at large spot, too. And Tasan, I think, would be a good choice from the RL.

[TimGuru]

I vote for Alan to continue as commish. He is doing an excellent job.

Thanks for the nomination Chief, if chosen I will gladly serve.

[kaosfere]

I'm going to do something that may surprise a few, and nominate Anthony for member at large. I'm not sure he would serve even if selected, but his "adversarial" voice could be useful in a constructive situation.

And yes, if chosen, I will do mah doo-tay.

[Tasan]

Thanks for the nod as well, Chief. I'll serve if elected.

I like that you're thinking out side of the box, and I think that if we have a few seasons of participation like Anthony showed today...where he voiced his opinion, but toned it down to prevent it from spiraling into personal battles, that he would make a fine addition. He certainly has a different way of looking at things, and that can be very refreshing. But I think the NEXT go around would be a more suitable time to step up if we continue to have days like today.

[ekcut]

I will not run for a second term. I have been struggling to keep up with the most important issues (I am always a day or two late it seems) and I think that TimGuru, Kaos and Tasan (as would many others, but those 3 to me seem like the most active right now) would be extraordinary on the BoD.

[Pike]

I'm sorry guys, but I cannot get behind Anthony as a BoD.

I've seen nothing from him that is remotely constructive or deserving of such a position. And to be honest, I think it would make things a good bit worse. He already has a pretty esteemed opinion of himself, and being a BoD would certainly not help that situation.

Not trying to be adversarial here, I just can't go with that idea.

[Alan T]

Primarily just looking for nominations and people volunteering for now. If we end up with more people nominated and willing to serve than positions, I'll post a vote for it after tommorrow Thursday night.

[Alan T]

Thank you for the nominations both via this thread and some by PM. I will be contacting each person that was nominated to verify they are willing to serve if voted in. I will post a poll (if necessary) tommorrow night that will run through the regular season and end Sunday night after the FOOL Classic for people to vote.

[Tasan]

Add him in, there's only been 2 votes cast.
