CZ Talk:Election December 2012/Nominations

From the Charter:

Article 28

The Ombudsman shall be nominated by the Combined Councils ...

Article 32

The Editorial Council ... shall

7.be composed of a number of members corresponding to the quorum who shall be Editors while the rest of the members shall be Citizens who are not Editors.

The current text on the nominations page seems to violate both these provisions. Peter Jackson 11:39, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Here's what the page says:

"Any Citizen in good standing is eligible to fill an Editorial Council author seat."

This statement contradicts 32.7.

Later, the page asks for nominations for ombudsman (with text copied from ME), but the Charter says the nomination(s) is (are?) to be made by the combined councils, not the Citizenry.

My recollection is that what you've put there is what we did last time. Has the Charter been changed since then, or was Gareth never validly nominated in the first place? Peter Jackson 17:57, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Peter, I emailed the Combined Councils about nominating for the Ombudsman. I will edit the text of the nominations page to make that clear to the Citizenry.

Re Editorial Council, the Election is only to replace one Editor seat term expiration (Nick Gardner),and one author seat of someone who resigned. Whether the Council is properly constituted will need investigation. I'll check the text on the nominations page. Anthony.Sebastian 00:08, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
