The Advisory Board Nominations

NN Nick Napoli Public Seen by 112

Please provide nominations and self-nominations for the board in this discussion thread. Read below for details on how to do this.

The Advisory Board is a small group of individuals to be advised by a variety of community working groups. It will vote on matters relating to the Invent Space such as by-laws, recommendations from working groups, and other important space related action items. Although the position titles will be Admin, Finance, Legal, Resources, and Outreach, every member of the board should feel confident about discussing and voting on all propositions. The Advisory Board will be re-elected once our legal entity is finalized.

If you would like to be a part of the board, please provide the following...
1) the desired position,
2) a 200 word or less bio and/or list of qualifications.
3) any other information that will help the community make an informed decision.

Please send all (self-)nominations to squirrel@weknownothing.com
Or just post them right here in this discussion.

I think they are already done (even though it says closing in 1hr)... not sure... If they were still going there would have been several different thumbs "up" choices listed below the pie chart at the top.

or maybe, because I have already voted they do not appear to me any more. I guess that is a possibility too... any who there will be a list of many different "thumb" choices in different colors just below the pie chart toward the top... click on the one you want after you have logged in & make any comments you wish in the comment box & done :)

The elections have completed. The nominations took place prior to (and during) the Feb 11 meeting. At that meeting, we took a vote on the five board members. All were in favor. We allowed an extra week here on Loomio for those that weren't able to make it. Since we only had five nominations for five spots, we made the decision an 'all-or-none' proposition.
Once we decide on a legal structure (eg - 501c3, SPC, etc) we will conduct new elections to meet the needs of the organization.
However, if there are concerns or dissent, please either post them here, bring it up at the next meeting, or contact me directly (if that doesn't pose a conflict of interest).
