Re: [alac] Revision of internal positions

[shahshah@xxxxxxxx]

Vittorio,
Assuming this [Chair+2ViceChairs] formula is now accepted(it wasn't my
favorite, but I can live with it), let us not risk possible lack of public
harmony by electing independent candidates to these positions. After all,
the Chair should still be the public face of the Committee and you would
not want public quarrels between the Chair and one of the Vice Chairs. I
propose we adopt one of the following methods:
Method 1. We first choose a Chair. The the Chair will nominate one or more
candidates he/she has come to an understanding with for each Vice Chair
position. The Committee then votes for the Vice Chairs.
Method 2. You ask for nominations for 3-member teams(with specified
positions). Then the Committee members vote for the team they prefer. It
should be understood that the team members have reached an understanding
among themselves on how they're going to work together.
I'm personally inclined toward Method 1, but I'd like to hear other opinions.
Best,
Siavash
