Committee Member Elections 2013- Declare Your Candidacy Here
« on: January 07, 2013, 07:23:01 am »
Dear Forvm Members,

It is time to elect a new committee for the 2013 Website Awards.  The committee needs five members plus one chairperson. Please declare your candidacy by replying to this thread. Below is Pep's write-up from last year describing the positions:

Committee Members receive the "Comitia Curiata" title in their profile but that is not just an honorary title, it is a working one.  Here are the duties of a Standard Committee Member:

- Receive website nominations from the public, review them for appropriate criteria, and forward satisfactory ones to the Committee as a whole
- Consider websites submitted by other Committee Members
- Introduce eligible websites personally found
- Receive website nominations from the public during the Annual Awards
- Consider Operational legislation brought before the Committee
- If thought of, introduce Operational legislation that may help improve the Awards Process
- Vote in the public polls
- Promote the Awards

Candidates and Committee Members will also be bound by the following Rules:

"Committee Member candidates, from the time they declare their candidacies, must also be members of FORVM's Classical Numismatics Discussion Board.  Membership on said Discussion Board must be maintained by Committee Members until the end of their service on said Committee."

"Committee Members must not accept or receive any gifts from the business of "FORVM Ancient Coins", especially for their services in the Forvm Website Awards Program, while they are on the Committee or after they declared their candidacies to serve on it.  They may receive compensation, regularly available to all in the general public, for goods and services rendered to FORVM the business or to the resources it provides as well as any free goods and services offered by FORVM the business to the general public.  FORVM Staff are prohibited from serving on the Forvm Website Awards Nomination Committee, except for those temporarily given that title and power for the purpose of uncompensated improvements to the FORVM website."

"Committee Members, from the time they declare their candidacies, must not accept or receive any gifts from members of the Classical Numismatics Discussion Board or owners of websites eligible for a Forvm Website Award, especially for their services in the Forvm Website Awards Program.  All goods and services which are not part of a shopping bonus and have a definable commercial value that are accepted or received from such people must be paid for in said value or exchanged for gifts of similar value (for example, in Holiday observances and coin trading). Footnote"

All Committee Members must also have a Yahoo! account so they can join the Committee's Discussion Group.  If you wish to do so, feel free to campaign positively.

If you want to see the Yahoo! Group and what the Committee is all about in action, here it is:

Thank you for considering joining the Forvm Website Awards Committee,

The 8th Forvm Website Awards Committee
Elections Supervisor for the 8th:  Molinari

Excellent, we have our first committee member:

rover1.3 (Comitia Curiata)

We need four more and a chairperson.  I would serve as Chair again but I am developing my website and would like it to be considered for the 2013 award, so I am removing myself from this year's candidates.

Thanks for volunteering, rover1.3!

We still need a chairperson for the group and I hope someone is willing to take on the responsibility.  It is a very important contribution to the Forvm community.  Please consider volunteering for the chair position.

Thanks again to those volunteering to serve as committee members!

We still need a leader for this group.  Perhaps one of the committee members would like to serve as Chair?

So Nick, will you get in touch with us to let us know what else is required of us?

I have read through the yahoo groups messages.  Seems like an interesting time was had last year.

Essentially, you'll receive nominations and review them and also seek some out on your own.  You can start anytime.  If you know of a good website, just send out a link via the Yahoo group so the committee can review it.

Past practice was to have quarterly votes, but the last few years we have just had one vote for the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards.

R. Smits is the new chair so he'll be responsible for the administrative tasks.
