[Chapter-delegates] [election-committee] Invitation to vote in the 2013 ISOC BoT Chapter election

[Rudi Vansnick]

Dear Alejandro, Veni,
Dear all,

The election platform consists of 2 tools : the first one being the Bigpulse voting platform, registering the votes of all voters based on the rules and procedures defined in the election procedures. The second tool is based on the existing website content management system and allowed the candidates to post responses to the predefined questions.

In the past and previous elections an open forum with candidates and voters has not been used. Starting this concept of open forum would need a review of the whole elections process, which would require the approval of the full BoT. Therefor I will consult my colleagues in the elections committee. 

The technical impact of such a process is also something we should allocate the necessary time to elaborate an appropriate technical solution. 

Promised the question will be treated in the elections committee asap.

Kind regards,

Rudi Vansnick
2013 ISOC Elections Committee chair
Member Board of Trustees Internet Society

> Rudi Vansnick, I am now asking this publicly. This is a failure of the Elections Committee that hurts ISOC. To compound the damage, some chapters may have already voted, so now if you open the debate not all voters will be treated equally.

> I understand well that you may have set up a system that requires special passwords for the candidates and that restricts posting answers to the questions in the election site to them. A forum mechanism should be in place for questions from the voters. You may decide to at least filter them through a members or even chapter delegates password, and you may need to moderate that forum eliminating participations that are out of order (remove spam, for example, as in any forum).
