Thread:Excellent set of questions (6)

Yes, this discussion is useful.

Three year term is fine, and three members changing each year seems good - but another thought - maybe we should consider whether we want voting every year.

Regarding voting, I think each person (we'll have to decide who can vote) should have 3 votes, since that is number we'll be electing each year if we agree with Wayne's suggestion. With one vote I feel we'll all vote for Wayne - can't see votes for anyone else with only one vote each. Also each voter could distribute his votes or give them to the same person i.e. she can give all three to the same person, or give two to one, and one to the other, or give one each to three people. Though then we'll have to decide - in year one do we all have nine votes each?

We could decide on a minimum of representation for each gender - say one third - then the three who have got the maximum votes from the particular gender would qualify (can u see that I am making a gender neutral statement ). Cannot see how the regional representation can be achieved under fair and democratic voting without making 'reservations' for each zone.

Yes, the board could have powers to co-opt members (say max 2) specially for their technical expertise. This may be important when we extend the scope of the wikied!!

Yes, we do need an Executive Director. Wayne has been functioning as one and can anyone see any of this happening without him!!
