As mentioned in the last update, it’s 2011 now. That means we need a 2011 Council! Currently the Council consists of Scott Thompson, Kevin Johnson, Aaron Mead, Cliff Parmeter, and Sergio Acevedo. Some of us are eager to serve again; but for some of us, life has gotten in the way and it’s time to make way for new blood!

And even though a few of us have become addicted to serving the community and would love to stay on, we will all step down and rely on being nominated -and voted in- again. This is an important step in “The Council Process” because, quite honestly, it makes Council Members work hard to keep their chairs; which really benefits the community!

How will this process work?

1) Nominate someone you think is capable of putting in the time to keep this community strong. Ask any former Council Member and I think they’ll all agree that it is definitely a time commitment. If you think someone will start off strong, then flake out in a couple of months, please don’t nominate them. We strongly recommend you choose from members who are very active already.

2) The nominee needs to accept the nomination.  We ask that those that accept a nomination list two things they hope to focus on during their tenure on the Council.

3) After a week or two of nominations, we’ll set up a poll to pick our 5 Council Members from the nominations.

Some current Council Members would like to start off the nomination process to get the ball rolling…

scottkthompson would like to start by suggesting HomerJ and carlosthedwarf. Both of these former council members have been invaluable to the current council. They’ve often stepped in to help when current council members needed it.  Also, they’re both on the site all the time; so we know they can put in the hours

KardKrazy would like to nominate his fellow council members Onyxweapon and scottkthompson.

Onyxweapon would like to nominate KardKrazy and Banstylejbo for their excellent work on their fan sets; MWS; the Vs. System Database; and more!

And now it’s your turn. Who do you want to serve your community?
