[NCSG-EC] [EC-NCSG] membership review procedures

[Zalnieriute, Monika]

Dear Robin,


This is great work!


I agree with Tapani that we can address the double voting in the election reform! The document looks great to me, I dont see any pressing issues either!


I also think that the provision for registering one's view in advance and long enough deadlines so people have time to react before going on vacation would be good options - we perhaps can discuss the details of the proposed time periods on the call? Shall we all make proposals?


Best wishes,


Monika

I don't think we need to do anything about it in member removal
procedures, unless you want to propose removing such members.

Instead I'd suggest leaving this issue to the election procedures
discussion. Indeed it is included in the list of topics I sent
to the election-reform list earlier (last item under (3)):
https://lists.ncsg.is/pipermail/election-reform/2017-March/000001.html

If some of you aren't on the election-reform list yet, I'd suggest
subscribing: https://lists.ncsg.is/mailman/listinfo/election-reform

I'll try to move forward with that soon, most issues should
be resolved before next election, in effect before Johannesburg.

Provision for registering one's view in advance and long enough
deadlines so people have time to react before going on vacation.

Details need some thought though.

I'll try to find time to read it through again thoroughly tomorrow,
but I don't recall any pressing issues either.
