[May, Megan Marie]

Colleagues,
    There are two candidates for the TCC Vice Chair


*         Alan Berg

*         Seth Theriault

Given I didn't send a message out this weekend and that it is a holiday week in the US, voting will be open NOW through Monday July 8th at 11:59 UTC.   This is NOT a public onlist vote.   Please send your votes directly to me (mmmay at indiana.edu<mailto:mmmay at indiana.edu>).

Thanks!
Megan

Subject: [sakai2-tcc] TCC Vice Chair Nominations

My time as chair will conclude at the end of July.  I have to say, I'm looking forward to going to the beach  (again) :)

So  it's time for the TCC to elect the next Vice Chair!    As someone that has done this twice, it IS work but it is very rewarding and a great way to serve the community.

Per the  governance document:

Nominations for Chair and Vice-Chair should be made publicly and can include self-nominations.
If there is only one candidate, the nominee is usually just declared elected.
If a vote is required, it is usually secret with an unbiased TCC member (e.g. not a candidate, such as current TCC chair) gathering the votes and reporting the results.

The method for breaking a tie is still subject to debate. Suggestions include:

A.      In a future TCC election if there is a tie, a run off election will be held among the tied candidates following the same election procedures.

B.      If members are still tied after the election, a virtual coin toss will be held when only two tied candidates are left.    The coin toss method may change, but currently it will be via http://cointossr.com/ between the chair and vice chair. The candidate who is represented by heads and tails is arranged prior to the toss when the chair sends the link to the vice chair.

If there is a tie in this election, I'm proposing action A, followed by B occur.

Please make nominations by next Friday (June 28) at  11:59 UTC , and if there's more than 1 candidate, we'll have a vote ending by Wednesday (July 3rd) at 11:59 UTC.   Following the typical 3 day waiting period(s).

Thanks!
Megan
