[EC-NCSG] Time to elect a new chair and alternate chair(s)

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

Ok we are now at our full compliment.

We need to (s)elect a new chair.
And we need to (s)elect new alternate chair(s)

I suggest we get started.

How about,
nominations until next Monday.


Then a simple doodle poll of those who agree to be candidates, where the 
person who gets most is chair, and anyone else who gets a vote becomes 
an alternate chair.  We get one vote each.

There really is a lot of work to do so a few alternates who have signed 
up to be doers for a year, would not be bad thing.

The doodle poll can be run by one of the observers, like a past EC or PC 
chair or a past council member.  I recommend that it be done as a blind 
poll while in progress so we don't see anything but our own vote, with 
only the totals revealed (not who voted for whom) at the end.

It is just about as simple as I can think of and prevents the collegial 
deadly embrace we saw when both Maria and Rudi, politely deferred to 
each other for the chair role.  Having served as alternate chair for the 
last bit, I believe there is little difference between a chair and an 
alternate,  except that the chair is the one who is the address for any 
urgent issue and is the point of contact for other committees etc.  Also 
I believe it is important for the actual chair to take primary 
responsibility for making sure everything gets done.

If people agree, I suggest that we start with nominations, including 
selfies.

If people disagree, lets discuss how we want to do this.

I have BCC'ed this to the EC-NCSG list and Rafik, as the EC is process 
oversight for PC-NCSG.  They don't need to react unless they think 
something is amiss in the process.  Having recently re-read the charter, 
I decided this is something we should do in this sort of case.
