=== Section 7: Officer Elections ===
* ''the process should include provisions for announcement periods (i.e., how long ahead of the annual meeting should nomination and discussion take place?) and votes by proxy, should any member be unable to attend. [[User:Abachman|Abachman]] 20:47, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
** ''I am a big fan of getting the whole affair done in one sitting, rather than having any period of official campaign, debates, or the like ahead of the annual meeting. This process basically compresses everything into a singe event. Everybody who wants to be VP stands up and says why, then we vote. If someone really wants to be VP, there's nothing to stop them from campaigning for as long as they want in advance of the annual meeting, but there's no institutionalized expectation to do so. I added some clauses about running without being physically present. --[[User:Jonlesser|Jonlesser]] 08:21, 9 July 2009 (UTC)''
** ''Done in one sitting is cool, I don't imagine there'd even be competition. I'm only suggesting that it shouldn't be a surprise. Like, "hey we're electing officers in two weeks, email your nominations / votes if you can't be there." [[User:Abachman|Abachman]] 00:55, 25 July 2009 (UTC)''
