Hello everyone! My name is Fox Young and I am the Director of Programming and will be the moderator for the upcoming elections. Our tellers will be Director of Membership Jason Tewksbury, Assistant Director of Programming Andrew Young and Assistant Secretary David Reynolds.
Recently our policies have undergone a slight change to how our elections process will go. The comment period where candidates leave the room has been replaced with a combined question and comment period, with candidates remaining in the room. This means that our anonymous questions must be addressed in a new manner. To do this we have set up an email for anonymous questions and comments to be submitted to with the following rules:
1) Anonymous comments are moderated by the elections moderator and tellers. This allows the comments to remain as unbiased and direct as possible.
2) Anonymous comments are anonymous when read at the meeting, but the moderator panel must know the identity of the person commenting. As part of the moderation process, the panel may request more information from you or request a change to your comment.
3) The moderator panel will reply to you stating whether your comment has been accepted. Comments will be accepted at
election-comments@kumoricon.org prior to and at elections, so people can submit comments in response to things said at the meeting. You can also bring up a written note at the elections meeting without using email, but this might be less anonymous than using email. Please remember both written notes and email messages must be signed with your real name.
So please feel free to use the email if there is anything you would like to ask our candidates privately, and I hope to see you all there!
