The Board is now officially accepting applications for membership. The
following rules will apply:
1. A maximum of three new members may be added to the Board.
2. Applications will be accepted until 24 Oct 2006 at 20:00 CDT.
3. Applications should be submitted via email to board@big-8.org.
4. People who have already applied will receive private email indicating
that they do not need to apply again. If you believe that you have
already applied but you do not receive private email to that effect,
please accept our apologies for the oversight and send email to
board@big-8.org reminding us to consider your application.
5. The identities of applicants will not be published without their
consent.
6. Each applicant will be voted on separately by the Board to determine
whether to consider the applicant for membership.
7. If there are more applicants under consideration than the maximum, a
Single Transferable Vote election will be used to select which
applicants to appoint to the Board.
8. The results of the selection process will be announced no more than
three weeks after this announcement was posted.
9. Terms of board members are staggered, with approximately 1/3 of
members' terms expiring on April and October 1 of each year (see
http://www.big-8.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=policies:membership for
more information). Newly appointed members' terms will expire on
the April/October 1 closest to but not exceeding 18 months after
their appointment. Terms of the other members will be adjusted
as necessary to keep a relatively even distribution of expiration
dates.
