While this repartee certainly demonstrates a heartening dedication
to the organization from both of you, and includes interesting
points on both sides, I believe it would be more appropriate to
continue it (if at all) on the Discuss list rather than the
Business list. Thanks.<br>

<pre wrap="">Isn't it obvious? I think our job as board members is to act according to the Bylaws in the best interest of the LP. We need a permanent Secretary ASAP.
If this was a vote in Convention, it would be conducted very much as the motion was submitted.
I feel absolutely no duty to debate you.
This motion is appropriate, and I find no value in your arguments.
Besides, its too late.

Geoff,
I'm afraid that's not much help! Will you please say what you mean, rather than speaking in riddles? Sorry if I'm being dense.

Geoff,
I am an LNC member, but I don't see how that relates to the topic at hand. Please explain.

Geoff,
Do you disagree with my analysis of how the current voting method could discourage people from voting for candidates they expect to draw less support in order to not risk "wasting their votes"? If so, can you explain your disagreement?

Well, if everyone votes quickly, we don't have to keep the voting open for the full period. Meanwhile perhaps the secretary or the chair could also withdraw the current ballot? I'm not certain about the mechanics of that, but it seems like there should be a way to withdraw and restart a ballot that is faulty in some manner.

<pre wrap="">Okay - let's think this through.
Let's suppose you get the required number of sponsors for your motion, and in a few days we start a vote to "start over" with different rules, which will take an additional ten days.
In the meantime, the current election round one will be over, and perhaps a candidate will have reached the threshhold for winning according to our Bylaws.
Just exactly how do we reopen an election?
