[governance] Voting and term length

[Imran Ahmed Shah]

Dear All IGC Members,
I am not sure about my position to comment on the Election being a candidate of a running one, but just for clarity, I would like to quote the following points:

1.under the section of "Selection of Coordinators" an example followed for 2006, is recorded in the charter:

"....(Note: as a boot strap procedure for 2006, the interim coordinator will serve until the end of the first election period, 
during which two coordinators will be selected - one for one (1) year and one for two (2) years)."

Avri is right that it is not included in the Charter that who will serve for one (1) year and who will serve for two (2) years.
However, this matter was also pointed out by the Ian Peter in his email on 3th Nov, along with a valid solution: 

"....My suggestion is that everyone gets to vote for two candidates. The person 

with most votes serves a two year term, the person with second most votes 
serves a one year term - to get us back into rotation. I think that is a 
correct reading of the situation given the year in which the resignation 
was received......"

May we invite other IGC Members to comment, either they agree or propose any other method, and just to establish a "rough consensus" before the the end of the election. We may include this point for the future discussion about charter amendment.

Regards

Imran Ahmed Shah
