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: The UKVoting web pages can be found at 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 (at) ukvoting.org.uk. ----------------------------------------------------------- 5) Moderation Panel Elections Guidelines - --> From the charter of uk.gay-lesbian-bi Election 2. Initially moderators shall be the panel elected as part of the charter change process. 3. Then each year thereafter 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 votetaker. The votetaker 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 votetaker 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 votetaker. 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 votetaker 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. ----------------------------------------------------------- - -- Pedt Scragg Votetaker, uk.gay-lesbian-bi Moderator Elections 2005 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPsdk 2.0.5 iQA/AwUBQvJeB/2zgRQFPPWbEQJNZwCgsX5q4QzVzSIaJoNmhkIwHVjBkwYAnAqZ yRqhC1Hymn5up+qMH4hePNGn =ZR75 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
