3) Votetaker Comments
Firstly, I'd just like to apologise for the delay in production of
these
results. The primary reason for this was the overly complicated
procedures required by the Charter, which I hope will be changed in
time
for the next Elections.
I'd also like to thank Robbie for stepping in and acting as secondary
votetaker once I'd counted it as far as I could manually, bearing in
mind that this was my first STV counted vote.
Apart from that, I'd just like to thank the 31 voters whose votes
were
counted for correctly filling in the ballot paper and congratulate
the
elected candidates.
- ------------------------------------------------------------
4) Voting and Appeal guidelines
This vote was conducted by a neutral third party member of
UKVoting. UKVoting is a group of independent votetakers who count
votes
on behalf of the uk.* hierarchy and other 3rd parties.
The rules under which votes for the uk.* hierarchy are taken are
posted
regularly to uk.net.news.announce or can be found at the following
URL:
<ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/usenet/news-info/news.answers/uk/voting>
The UKVoting web pages can be found at <http://www.ukvoting.org.uk/>
There is a five day discussion period after these results are posted
to
uk.gay-lesbian-bi
Allegations of irregularity should be sent to
ukvoting@ukvoting.org.uk.
- ------------------------------------------------------------
5) Moderation Panel Elections Guidelines
>From the charter for uk.glb:
Election
2 Initially moderators shall be the panel elected as part of
the charter change process.
3. Then each year there after elections will be held for the posts
of moderator.
i. 11 months after moderation comes into effect (and every twelve
months subsequently) the moderation panel will appoint a neutral
party
to conduct the election as vote taker. The vote taker will issue a
call for nominations for a new moderation panel.
ii. Nominations will be open for 10 days and to be valid each
nominee
will have to be proposed and seconded by white list posters
self-nomination is permitted). All white list posters shall have the
right to vote, regardless as to whether they were white listed before
or after the opening of nominations.
iii. At the end of 10 days a list of candidates (including their
proposers/seconders) will be published.
iv. A five day period of hustings will be held during which the
candidates will answer questions from posters to the group.
v. The vote taker will issue the first call for votes, to be
followed by a second call for votes five days later, the voting
period lasting in all for 10 days, votes shall only be valid if
submitted on official ballot forms.
vi. Voting will be by the Single Transferable Vote method, with
a reopen nominations candidate (RON) added to the ballot.
If RON passes the quota then all the then unfilled places are
void requiring a new election for those vacancies.
vii. Each voter shall receive an acknowledgement from the vote
taker.
They will be given a unique identification as part of their
acknowledgement, this will enable them to verify their vote when the
result is published while protecting their identity from other
voters.
viii. The vote taker will publish the result and a voting list
comprising voter identifiers and their vote.
xi. In the event of less than 4 moderators being elected or RON
passing quota the vote taker will issue a second request for
nominations no later than 1 month after the close of ballot
and hold elections for the remaining vacancies.
Those elected at this election shall serve until the annual
round of elections are held.
=================================================================
CANDIDATES:
The following nominations were received and accepted:
Please find below details of the people who nominated each candidate
(Name & Email Address) and a short statement from each candidate:
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
Candidate 1 : Bod ukglb spamb odnet com
Nominator 1 = Mikeapollo mikea pollo serve r186f reese rveco
uk
Nominator 2 = St Erroneous isham aeler roneo usdem oncou k
Statement:
I have been a regular poster to uk.gay-lesbian-bi since 1997 (my 3rd
ever post was about moderation!). I watched the group get overwhelmed
by spam and lose regular and valued posters.
I believe that the moderation of the group is a good thing, as it
stands. It has made the group more readable, and we have gained more
posters (and, presumably, lurkers) as a result. My own first attempt
to read the group was put off by the levels of spam.
I cannot say that I agree totally with all moderation decisions that
have been made in the past, and I believe that after a year of
moderation we need to look back at what has been achieved and tweak
the moderation guidelines accordingly.
I do not believe in extending the moderators' powers beyond the
present removal of binaries, spam, commercials and personals.

Candidate 2 : Graham Reilly usene tvend ettad emonc ouk
Nominator 1 = Matthew Malthouse matth ewcal meill esdem oncou
k
Nominator 2 = Pete Denton pjdno tnedn et
Statement:
All you need is love.
And a bit of common sense.
I don't know if I have either, but I'm willing to try.
I'm 27. I do software architecture and systems design for a bank. I
have red hair. I'm Scottish. I don't read as much as I'd like to. I
like a drink every now and again. And a think every now and again.
None of this is particularly relevant. What may be is that I only
came
out 2 1/2 years ago, and I still have one foot in the closet. I know
what it feels like to have your view of the world partially obscured
by
a wardrobe door.
I also deeply appreciate everything that the people of uk.glb have
done
for me, and would like to give something back.
Is this the kind of thing I'm expected to write? We shall see, I
suppose.

Candidate 3 : Laurence Jupp alice bitsb risac uk
Nominator 1 = Laurence Jupp alice bitsb risac uk
Nominator 2 = Pete Denton pjdno tnedn et
Statement:
GWM, NSOH, seeks newsgroup with large membership for open
relationship.
Must be willing to submit to moderate control - especially denial and

Candidate 4 : Lyn David Thomas lynci bwrfr eeser vecou k
Nominator 1 = Neil Matthews neilc haoso rguk
Nominator 2 = Chris Bannister cjclu escom
Statement:
I am standing for re-election for one year to the moderation panel
because I feel that some continuity is important and that I have
show that I can do the job. I believe that moderation has
immeasurably improved the group, making it far more accessible to
people previously put off. I believe that I have fulfilled my brief
as
a moderator correctly and will continue to do so if elected for a
second term. It is not my intention (if elected) to stand for a third
consecutive term as I believe that with continuity the panel needs a
steady turn over of members.

Nominator 2 = Lyn David Thomas lynci bwrfr eeser vecou k
Statement:
I've been reading and posting to uk.glb for around four years
now. I've been a keen supporter of the introduction of moderation to
the group, and hope to be able to play a part in keeping the
newsgroup
usable.

Nominator 1 = Alex Foster afy9f ajnot tingh amacu k
Nominator 2 = Martin Smith marti nspee dsixd emonc ouk
Statement:
I have served as a moderator for the 11 months since the system was
implemented. I hope that that time has demonstrated my ability to do
the task responsibly.
I have been a regular on uk.g-l-b for about four years. As such I
will
be recognisable to many usenet users and am personally known to a
number of other users of the group.

Candidate 7 : Paul Anderson watma nfree ukcom
Nominator 1 = Matthew Malthouse matth ewcal meill esdem oncou

Nominator 2 = Adrian Hadayah adria ndiat omnet
Statement:
I fully support the majority held view of moderation as a means to
keep this group spam-free, readable and welcoming whilst preserving
the high visibility in the name 'uk.gay-lesbian-bi', and wish the
current value to the g-l-b community and policy of inclusiveness to
continue and develop. Since I personally value the group highly (and
as a long time lurker endured the pre-moderation spam disruptions) I
feel it only fair, now that I am in such a position, to offer to
share in the burden of moderation.

Candidate 8 : Pete Denton pjdno tnedn et
Nominator 1 = St Erroneous isham aeler roneo usdem oncou

Nominator 2 = John Maynard jmbed lamgl obaln etcou k
Statement:
As a gay man I lurked on uk.gay-lesbian-bi from early in 1996 posting
occasionally during that year, I have posted regularly since late
1997.
Professionally, I have worked in the voluntary sector since 1990 and
have seen the importance of networks of people with common issues in
terms of personal empowerment and collective lobbying. Personally,
uk.gay-lesbian-bi has helped me a great deal in understanding my
sexuality and in understanding myself. I was one of the posters who
voted in favour of moderation and am pleased to see the improvements
it
has made. However I am keen to ensure that people are still able to
voice their opinions (whether or not I agree with them) and that
uk.gay-lesbian-bi is seen by all as a welcoming place for discussion
on
lgb issues and by lgb people.

Candidate 9 : Peter Baggett g4orx btint ernet com
Nominator 1 = Lyn David Thomas lynci bwrfr eeser vecou k
Nominator 2 = James Coupe james obeah demon couk
Statement:
I started posting to uk.glb in the first week of moderation. I'm in
favour of a moderated group as I feel it is important to maintain a
safe discussion area for Lesbians, Gay men and Bisexuals. I usually
read the group on a twice daily basis. The group helped me a lot when
coping with a bereavement and I'd like to put something back into it.
On a personal front - I'm 45, have been a computer programmer for 21
years and have been involved with Lesbian & Gay Switchboards for the
past 13 years (with a 2 year break).

Candidate 10 : Peter Corlett abuse cabal orguk
Nominator 1 = Pete Denton pjdno tnedn et
Nominator 2 = Matthew Malthouse matth ewcal meill esdem oncou
k
Statement:
I had intended to stand down this year so that we had some variety on
the moderation panel, however it seems that there aren't going to be
too many candidates and a number of the regulars have requested I
stand
for election again this year.
I'm not terribly fussed either way - it's hardly a power-crazed
Sekrit
Kabal hell-bent on world domination - but I'll be happy to perform
moderation duties for another year iff the electorate wishes.

Candidate 11 : Richard Richg ayboy orguk
Nominator 1 = Lyn David Thomas lynci bwrfr eeser vecou k
Nominator 2 = Bod ukglb spamb odnet com
Statement:
I have been reading and posting to the group for about 2 years now,
and
feel that I would be able to spend time every day on the role as
defined in the charter.
