Following the close of the nomination period, the minimum criteria to hold the election has not been met. Thus, I am opening the nomination period for another week and lowering the member rank requirement to Captain. Please note that voting will still be restricted to those holding the rank of Fleet Captain and above.
This nomination period will close at 2000 EDT on Wednesday, October 14, 2021.
Be sure to read the other relevant details in the post below.
Posted by Vice Admiral Sarah M (TECH) in =/\= EGO Election: Call for Nominations =/\=
The EGO Election is now open for a member of EGO for a two-year term beginning on November 1, 2021.What is EGO? EGO is STF’s check on the power of the President, who otherwise holds a fairly dictatorial role in the club’s governance. There are three members of EGO, each with staggered terms, producing an election every eight months. A member of EGO is restricted from serving as President or Vice President during the course of their two-year term, although they may resign from EGO in order to accept one of those positions. The member of EGO who is closest to the end of their term is the “Chief EGO” and s/he will generally speak on behalf of the group. EGO has the following powers, which require a majority vote (so two out of the three members of EGO):
- Veto a bill posted by the President within ten days of the posting date.
- Veto the appointment of an Election Coordinator by the President.
- Overturn a member ban imposed by the President.
- Validate and investigate an impeachment call against the President or another member of EGO.
In order to be a candidate for EGO, you must meet the following requirements:
1) Hold a minimum member rank of Fleet Captain.
2) Be an active Member for at least eight continuous months prior to this election, excluding routine LOAs. A Member is defined as any person holding an active STF account and at least one of the following: a governmental position, an active roleplaying character, or a Gamemaster position for the previous 30 days.
3) Have not held a position on EGO in the prior eight months (for instance, you cannot serve two consecutive terms or resign two months before the election and then run again).
4) Not be the President or Vice President.If you are meet these requirements and you are interested in serving a two-year term on EGO, please email ec@star-fleet.com by 1000 EDT on Thursday, October 7, 2021. More information about EGO can be found at https://www.star-fleet.com/prez/edicts/hemenway2/#b2. A one-week voting period (restricted to Members with a rank of Fleet Captain or above) will begin shortly after the close of nominations.
As a reminder, there is no campaigning in an EGO election. If you are found to be campaigning, you WILL be disqualified.
