Nominations for 2017 Individual Member representative #38

Closed williamkapke closed 7 years ago

williamkapke commented 7 years ago

Almost 1 year ago- nominations opened up for the Individual Membership representative. So- it seems we should be due to start the process again.

My research says @feross's term will be ending in January.

mikeal commented 7 years ago

Correct.

We should also use the nomination process to encourage and promote individual membership in the foundation leading up to the next election.

It would also be cool if we could get candidates to do a few podcasts and other media about why they want to run. I bet NodeUp would be excited about that.

How about a section at Collaborator Summit US?

mikeal commented 7 years ago

@williamkapke I like the idea but I'm a little worried about advantaging people running who attend vs. those who can't make it.

hackygolucky commented 7 years ago

@williamkapke I love the idea of introducing this at NI NA. It's a great way to kick off the nomination season. I think @mikeal has a good point that we should resist the urge to make it appear that one has to be attending(so we need to have lots of outreach outside of this) in order for nominations to occur.

We have such a global reach, it would be unfortunate for people the world over to think that since they couldn't attend the North American event that they don't have a place to run.

FWIW, I think all options (even NodeUp) have the possibility of being exclusive.

what are the time lines we are considering for the election this year?

Same time every year, so voting and election in January around the same time as last year.

Thank you @williamkapke for opening this... while I definitely do not want to se @feross' term come to an end, it's good that we've got this rolling early.

jasnell commented 7 years ago

@mikeal ... can you please refresh memories on the nomination process?

hackygolucky commented 7 years ago

We were planning on opening up nominations and making sure documentation around what it means to lead as a director at Node Interactive NA. Giving about a month before the election will be helpful to making sure people know what they are signing up for to set them up for success.
