[Cz-editcouncil] Election of the Editorial Council Chair

[Dr.Supten Sarbadhikari]

Dear All,
The
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Editorial_Council_Rules_of_Procedure#Editorial_Council_rolesnow
points to
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Editorial_Council_Resolution_0007#V._Selection_of_the_Editorial_Council_Chair
.
Para 4 of the Section V states: "After one week, the Chair announces the
candidates. A private balloting is then done by the Secretary, who allots
one week for the vote and who announces the result. All members, including
outgoing members, may participate in this vote."
Since Larry is himself not a candidate for the post of the Chair, he may
conduct the private balloting.
If he can announce the candidates latest by March 24, 2008, then the
s/election for the Chair of the EC can be completed by March 31, 2008 and
the new Chair and the new EC can take charge from Tuesday April 01, 2008.
I have written to the competent authority for providing me with the list of
editors eligible to be the members of the Editorial Council, as per the
rules.
Only on the basis of voting on the Resolutions proposed so far, there are 20
members who qualify. Among them 2 are also part of the Executive Committee
and / or Constabulary. The number is likely to be further reduced when the
count of edits is available.
Please feel free to clarify any doubts you may have.
With warmest regards
Supten
Secretary and Selection Official, CZ Editorial Council
