BALLOT

THIS VOTE WILL REMAIN OPEN UNTIL 12:01 A.M. GMT ON SUNDAY JUNE 5.
Question 1: I recognize the need for procedural oversight of hearings, to ensure that proper procedure is followed and to provide a resource for hearing participants, so that the participants can concentrate on the substantive issues of the hearing.
PLEASE SELECT ONE:
A. I agree with this statement.
B. I do not agree with this statement.
Question 2: Please state your preference for who should be responsible for performing this function.
PLEASE RANK YOUR CHOICES with #1 being most preferred:
A. The Mayor will perform this function.
B. A new office will be created to perform this function. This office will be called "Loremaster" and will have the same duration, eligibility, and selection provisions as the office of the Mayor but with a different area of responsibility.
C. No new office will be created, nor will the Mayor perform this function. When hearing arises, the Mayor will designated someone to act in the Loremaster role for that hearing only.
D. No new office will be created, nor will the Mayor perform this function. The Mayor will keep a list of volunteers who are willing to sufficiently familarize themselves with the Charter and fill this role when necessary. When a hearing arises, the Jury may choose to ask one of these volunteer Loremasters to oversee the hearing.
E. A new office will be created to perform this function. This office will be called "Loremaster," with a term of office the same length as that of the Mayor. The Mayor will appoint the Loremaster, choosing from a pool of volunteers.
