In the voting form all 9 eligible Candidates for the Transition are listed alphabetically and can be voted on.

 

Votes are as follows:

 

Yes - You are in favor of electing this Candidate as a member of the Transition Team

No - You are not in favor of electing this Candidate as member of the Transition Team

Abstain - You abstain from voting for this Candidate

 

Every candidate needs a majority of the votes in favor of the total voting Leadership Team Members, either present or by proxy.

 

Up to 6 Candidates can be elected, so you may vote in favor of up to 6 Candidates, but you may also vote for less than 6 Candidates. You may not vote in favor of more than 6 Candidates.

 

In case there are more than 6 Candidates receiving the required majority, the number of votes in favor will determine the ranking. In the event that the last positions are a draw, additional ranking by the voting members will determine.

 

If you are in favor of electing a Candidate as a member of the Transition Team please indicate a ranking along for this Candidate. Ranking should be given from 1 to the candidate you prefer the most down to 6 and you may only use the same rank one time. It will be used in the event of a draw. If you vote "No" or "Abstain" you don't need to rank the Candidate and can skip that field.

 

Best practices:
1. Read the document with all the details of the Candidates

2. Create a list on how you want to vote on the candidates

3. Create a ranking list from 1 - 6 (or less) for the Candidates you want to vote on in favor

4. Go to the election form and cast your vote

 

The two appointed vote counters are Jacques Rentzke and Dianne Henning. They will assist in counting the votes together with Marijke Stuivenberg (as the Secretary of the board) to make sure everything is fair. Marijke will cast her vote before this email is sent out, so before any other LT members to assure that her vote does not influence the outcome. This will be confirmed by the the two appointed vote counters Jacques and Dianne.

 

CLT, PLT and the board of directors, elects 1 person each internally to join the transition team. The result of that election should be submitted to the Structure Team no later than September 17th, 2015.
