will separate into two forums if theres too many discussions, one for committee discussions and the other for public discussions. in the meantime, one will have to do.

guests may posts.

please tell me members who will be part of the committee. i will give them moderator rights to this forum.

some things i would recommend doing first:

1. write a brief objective (pinned).
2. rules and regulations. for example, in my student assembly, we followroberts rules.

good luck and God bless!

jusun, this is pretty cool. hopefully we can get everything set straight and end the rivalries, or at least come close.

Does this consider by-law ?

http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=22094

.. more ideas to come ..

By-laws are more like global policies affecting the administration of the forum, not necessarily small, specific rules about posting, etc.

what rivalries?

^I think he's talking about the drama that comes after picking the mods and everything

^
yeah. sorry, i havent came in this thread in awhile.

By-laws are a adopted set of rules and regulations to govern the internal management of an organization.

Oh i see, thanks.

I regret to inform everyone that Fae (Spirited Away) has removed herself from the committee as a member delegate, meaning that we are looking to fill one position

please Post here if you are interested, using your CB account.

All of Fae's votes up until this point remain valid

I'll take her spot.

Or me =]

well, as rachel did submit an application originally, i think she gets teh spot. welcome to the team!

and radhika, you get priority if another spot opens up

= )

oh, and rache, fae's votes are still all valid, so in order not to upset the balance, please dont vote on any issues where she has already cast a ballot.

i'm not entirely sure that tere are any still open, but just have a check, yeah?

No problemo dear. Thankies

I don't see why you didn't just choose from the original pool of applicants. It doesn't seem fair, I'm sure, not only to me, but others as well. I doubt many others have even taken note of the shortly-open position.

i think rachel had applied before, but just didnt get picked.

Well yea, but why did it have to be the first person that had already applied and posted here?

So? I and many others also applied before, too. So how is that even in the least bit fair? Seems like favoritism.

i didnt know you had applied.

Shrug. I applied a little late, if I remember. Whatever.

alright, im not saying this to side with anna, but it seems that having 11 members will ensure that our vote does not come out even.

But thats the point, to have the same number from both sides. And that problem hasnt come up yet anyways ans if it does we already have a way to deal with it.

alright...i guess ill leave it at that.

Hey, I don't mind if you want to look at other people.

It isn't favoritism, maybe he just thought that no one else who applied would want it.

Go ahead and ask again, I don't really care.

But if they suddenly change their minds and go for Anna over Rachel, that wouldn't be fair either

Well I don't want to cause a scene over it. Whatever ya'll decide will be fine.

Uh.

...

I'm not asking to be chosen for the committee.

then what exactley is in discussion now?

^ Someone taking Fae's spot on the commitee. It was being said they (whoever is choosing to replace her) should go over the existing applicants of people werent chosen and appoint a new commitee member from those.

we seem good at voting. why dont we get all the applicants names together and vote on who we feel should take the spot.

^ Sure...you get the names, I'm too lazy right now

i dont even remember where they are

*looks*

members:
its too cluttered that i cant seem to tell who wants on and who doesnt.

didnt micron give james the privledge to pick whos on the committe? why should we vote o.o

Shrug. I never mentioned anything about a vote. It just seemed that this time around, James just chose from two people rather than from the original pool.

well, i think it's fine.

fae's an ex mod, rachel's an ex mod. makes sense.

i chose from radhika and rachel because i had made that post a couple of days before i made the selection, and they were the two who expressed interest. i wanted someone who was checking regularly, and the people who saw it and replied promptly seemed to fit that best.

and out of the two, i chose rachel because she had applied originally.

You posted it the day before either of them posted and they posted only 3 minutes apart, at the end of the day.

Besides, I didn't even think to check the "new forum" topic before someone sent me here. I don't think "new forum" screams out "apply if you're interested here".

I don't know, you could've given more people a chance to even notice it was in here..I wouldn't have even gone here.

*shrugs*

i dont have the ability to create new topics at the moment, nor to pm anyone to do it for me. out of the existing threads, this seemed the best bet.

at the end of the day, unless any one has an issue with the actual person who got on the committee, i dont see why this needs to be an issue.

Then make a topic somewhere, like the lounge, announcing an opening. It is fine with me.

[Ps, I am going to be out of town until tomorrow night so I guess I'll just find out then no?]

im not going to ask rachel to step down, and i'm not going to redo this appointement

however, i'll keep this in mind should it become an issue again

someone asked me, and just6 to clarify, nicki will still havea moderator vote and palce on the committee during her suspension

^I heart your typing.

Who's in place of Fae since she stepped down from By-Laws?

Rachel, I think.

yes. rachel got her place

Random but, am I going to get the mod powers for being on the committee? I don't really care either way actually, just been on my mind.

OOPS.

my advice is too pm jusun or an admin (admin is probably a better bet) to give you the powers... i would have dealt with it earlier, but it slipped my mind, sorry

HEY I still have modly powers in here
