That's great that you're learning the admin business, Maria!
Now I have to confess that I've just found that I didn't correctly describe the procedure under the charter. I'm sorry.
There
will be some kind of membership vote on admin candidates. However, it's not a vote like the one this coming week, where the admins are actually chosen by the voters. Instead batches of people will be approved by the membership as eligible to be admins, and actually moving into the job will be handled without a vote.
We are still working on the procedure for this vote, but the idea is for it to be as anonymous as possible. I think it will be extremely rare for a majority of the membership to object to a candidate, if indeed it ever happens at all. It should be possible to arrange the votes so that no one ever knows how many people, if any, did not approve a particular candidate.
That said, I realize that this is not the same as "no vote at all." If you are on the list for the admin pool and wish to withdraw your name from consideration now, I suggest PMing Jnyusa. If you have questions, please PM me.
I'd suggest waiting at least a few days to see what form the proposed vote will take--it's being discussed right now in the Jury Room--and deciding on that basis whether you wish to continue.
I apologize again for my oversight. Thanks again to everyone who has volunteered so far.
