BALLOT
STAGE ONE: After eligibility requirements have been met, deciding which members go on to the roster for admins.
Question 1: Putting eligible members on to the roster for admins - this question only concerns who will be responsible for keeping track of when eligibility requirements have been fulfilled.
A. We will create a mayor’s office, and the mayor will be responsible for keeping track of join dates, sending out emails to notify members when they become eligible, asking them if they are willing to serve as admins, and putting their name onto the list of trainees if they are willing. A willing member will automatically go into training once other eligibility requirements are met (those from Article 2, ¶2) How the mayor will be chosen and what that person’s other duties are would be decided later.
B. We will create a selection committee which will be responsible for keeping track of join dates, observing the behavior of members on the board, and deciding who would be a suitable admin. Not all members who are otherwise eligible will be approved necessarily. When a member is approved by the committee, the committee will send an email to notify the member, and if the member is willing to train as an admin their name will go on to the roster and they will complete their other training requirements (those from Article 2, ¶2). How the selection committee will be chosen would be decided later.
C. The current full admins will be responsible for keeping track of join dates, sending out emails to notify members when they become eligible, asking them if they are willing to serve as admins, and putting their name onto the list of trainees if the member is willing. No additional offices or committees have to be created, but keeping track of eligibility would be added to the duties of admins.

Question 3: Who will decide when a ‘junior admin’ is ready to be a full admin?
A. The trainee will decide for him/herself.
B. The approval of the full admin who coached them, with the agreement of the trainee, will be sufficient.
C. All trainees will stand for an up/down vote of the membership We will decide how to structure this vote only if the vote is desired by the majority.

STAGE TWO: Once a person is in the pool of admins
Question 4: At what point do admins serve their term?
A. They serve a term of office in the order they entered the pool, unless some reason prevents them from doing this, in which case they remain ‘next on the list’ until circumstances allow them to serve.
B. They serve a term of office in the order they entered the pool, unless some reason prevents them from doing this, in which case they go to the bottom of the list and their name does not come up again until everyone else has served.
C. Current admins and admins in the pool decide together who will serve next. Since we know when each term begins and ends, those in the admin pool could conceivably schedule who would serve each term a whole year in advance. Admins in the pool should be allowed to ‘team up’ and serve together with those whom they choose.
