That is, after the vote is complete, anyone who did not vote in the last

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>Dear All <br>
<br>
This is to draw your attention to an important matter. <br>
<br>
The voting eligibility for charter amendment and for any other voting,
including for electing a coordinator is very different. While for the latter,
anyone who has been on the list for two months and affirms membership through
declaring commitment to the charter can vote, for a charter amendment only
those who have voted for the last election/ voting can vote. This special
condition has been put for voting on any charter amendment to avoid capture,
since charter amendment is quite a serious matter, since through any such
amendment the very nature of and procedures adopted by the caucus can be
changed. <br>
<br>
When I read that voting for charter amendment and for electing a new
coordinator will take place at the same time, I brought the above issue to the
attention of the co-coordinator in-charge of the voting/election, Jeremy, and
requested that since there are different voting eligibility conditions for the
two proposed voting, holding them together will cause confusion and should
therefore be avoided. I preferred that charter amendment be held separately
before the coordinator election, with the voter list consisting of all those
who had voted for the last election, as is expressly required by the charter. <br>
<br>
Jeremy replied that he is going to overcome this problem simply by having a
single process whereby the coordinator voting immediately precedes the charter
amendment vote, and it will 'technically' be ensured that only those who vote
for coordinator election will be able to vote for the charter amendment, which
in his view would meet the special voting eligibility requirement for a charter
amendment vote. <br>
<br>
I responded that though technically it may meet the requirement, which too I
doubt, it does not observe the intent of the charter in spirit, since the
special condition of more strict eligibility conditions for voting for charter
amendment has been put there with a clear purpose of avoiding capture. It is
for this reason that the charter seeks to put some clear time and space between
the participation of anyone in a vote for charter amendment and her/ his
affirmation of IGC membership through participation in an earlier election,
when, presumably, he/ she would have no idea of a possible participation in a
charter amendment vote. <br>
<br>
The present process, whereby any voting can be held immediately
preceding, but as a part of the same process of, a charter amendment vote
almost looks like writing a plan on how to subvert the charter requirement of
more stringent voting criteria for charter amendment. Even though the present
exercise may be well-intentioned, the fact that it opens up a dangerous future
possibility bother me a lot. <br>
<br>
I therefore consider the present voting process as not proper, and propose a
discussion on this issue. <br>

received a personal email inviting you to cast your vote for the next

your vote, you will also become eligible to vote on the recently-discussed
charter amendment. <br>

If you did not receive your personal invitation email, please first check your
junk email folder, and if you still do not have it, let me know. <br>

The draft form of the coordinator ballot and charter poll has been approved by
Ginger also, but I will take primary responsibility for any disputes that
people may wish to raise about the process adopted. <br>
<br>
The 2009 appeals team (Jeanette Hofmann, Adam Peake, Carlos
Alfonso, Ken Lohento and Fouad Bajwa), who have not yet been replaced
for 2010, are (I hope) also available to hear any disagreements. <br>
<br>
Following the informal procedure adopted in previous years (the charter is,
surprisingly, silent), the election ballot and charter poll will be open for 10
days from now, which ends on 9 September 2010, "rounded up" until
midnight that night. <br>
<br>
The last subscriber who is eligible to affirm IGC membership is Alan Greenberg,
who subscribed on 23 July 2010. The first subscriber who missed out on
that opportunity is Giorgio Simeoli who subscribed on 10 August. One
