BALLOT ITEM
Finishing the term of office for an administrator who has resigned will not count as a full term for purposes of determining how many successive terms a member may serve, unless the term they are completing has eight full weeks or longer remaining.
Please vote yes or no in the above poll. And thanks for making two trips to do this.
Friends,
First of all, Congratulations to Leoba on her new job!
Unfortunately for us, Leoba would prefer to have someone else finish her term as admin if that can be arranged. Prim is working right now to set up the next admin vote, and to bring the terms of office into alignment with what members chose a few months ago. Listening to this conversation, I realized that we neglected a contingency in ¶1: Number of Administrators and Terms of Office, namely the contingency that an admin needs to resign early for RL reasons.
Terms of office are never altered in such a case; rather, someone completes the existing term and new votes take place as regularly scheduled. So we don't need a special provision for resignations. However, we do have a provision that no admin may serve more than two consecutive terms, and if someone completes the term of someone else, we need to specify how that counts towards consecutive service.
I would like to suggest the following bullet point be added to Article 2, ¶1. I'd like you to consider it for maybe two days, suggest modifications, and then vote the language up or down.
A full term of office is 13 weeks.
