[governance] Nomcom reform

[Imran Ahmed Shah]

Dear Jeremy, 
May I ask that, why the option of ballot to opt non-of-above feature require modification to the charter?
Charter does not stop or speak against.

For instance; if any of the voter member asked this option, you could add in the eBallot, by using Check Box instead of Radio Buttons and Voter could submit without selecting any of the listed candidate.
Now it is your decision, or appeal team consideration that do you discard this ballot casting or count as against listed candidate.  

As I know the Ballot Design is not included in the Charter.

However, if you do not consider member's request, charter amendment could support members to convince the coordinator.
Thanks

Imran

You still have a voter account, hence are still a member for all purposes other than voting on charter amendments.  The Charter only says that "everyone who voted in the previous election will be deemed a member for amending the charter", it doesn't say that they are not members
 for other purposes.>>But agreed that we need to work on the charter, anyway.  There is a group of 8 (including you) who have joined a mailing list to put together some proposed amendments to the charter, and anyone else can join that list too:>>http://lists.igcaucus.org/info/charter>>We should get started now, I guess.
