Board elections 2014
It is now one year that the current board has been put into power for the time of about one year. So the election of a new board in due.
This discussion is here to discuss the process, the roles and to nominate candidates.

In two weeks not even a comment from anybody, be it board member or not? Is this party still alive?

We need to elect a new board Closed Sun 22 Jun 2014 9:08PM
Everyone agrees that we need to elect a new board ASAP
The PPNZ elects a board for a period of one year. The last board has been put into power 12 month ago. So it is time to elect a new board or re-elect some or all members of the current board.
While the party constitution allows for an extended 15 months period until a new board MUST be elected, such an extension is justified only to allow a board to work towards a particular goal without being interrupted in their work during a critical phase, e.g. in preparation of some national elections, or such. This does not apply today, because there is no such work in progress that could be interrupted.

Elections should take place as soon as possible.

Seems odd that we should even have a vote on this, since it isn't something we can decide not to do ...

Has anyone read Article 7 of the constitution? We only need 15% of the party membership to agree to change the constitution. Now as we only have 14 financial members, we only need 3 of them to agree to a change.

As the elections in September are not going to be relevant for us we could consider changing the constitution before then rather than waiting until afterwards.

OK, we all agree that we need to elect a new board. How can we organise that? I guess that would actually be something that the board would have to work out and perform; but I fear we cannot count on that as no board member has commented on my request from 19 days ago.
There is no indication that we can ever hope for any move of the current board. I fear we have to regard the current board as non-existing.
If I am not mistaken (@kirktwist @davidpeterson @terryjones @benvidulich @andrewmcpherson @brucekingsbury to comment on this), we ought to organise this on the membership level.

@ben I understand you have not been provided with the information necessary to work out for certain who actually currently has the status of a financial member; but can you work out how many may or may not be?
We somehow must be able to work out who actually is eligible for voting!

@kirktwist @davidpeterson @terryjones You are the current president, vice-president and secretary, right? So can you inform us where we are at with the preparations, please?
