From: Robert Felton Subject: Notice: Steve Inglis & uk.politics.misc Date: 1998/12/07 Message-ID: #1/1 X-More-Info: http://www.usenet.org.uk/ Approved: Richard Letts Organization: A Good Idea(tm) Followup-To: uk.net.news.management Newsgroups: uk.net.news.announce,uk.net.news.config,uk.net.news.management -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- UKVoting Statement - Steve Inglis & uk.politics.misc Steve Inglis volunteered for this CFV and posted the first CFV on 19th September 1998 with the following message ID: cfv-uk.politics.misc-980919-232143@usenet.org.uk The second CFV was not posted and the vote closed on 4th October 1998 and no results have been forthcoming. When I became aware of the results not being posted I attempted to contact Steve for a week or so via email or telephone but with no joy. Therefore on the 10th November 1998 I posted the FIRST WARNING for Steve Inglis as stated within the Guidelines for UKVoting as posted: Date: 5 Mar 1998 22:03:47 -0000 Message-ID: notice-UKVoting-980305-220236@usenet.org.uk And with no response the SECOND WARNING was issued on the 18th November 1998 with Steve Inglis membership of UKVoting suspended. Then on the 20th November 1998 Steve Inglis contacted myself via the telephone explaining he had been on holiday in Australia for 3 weeks, and so the suspension was lifted, and Steve promised to issue the Results to Control ASAP. Then with nothing happening I gave Steve one further reminder message on the 26th November 1998, but this went unanswered and so the First Warning was re-instated on the 29th November 1998. Unfortunately there has been no response from Steve and therefore: 1) Steve Inglis is removed from UKVoting. 2) The CFV is declared NULL & VOID by Co-Ordinator of UKVoting. 3) Rob Irvine will issue a new CFV with all previous votes ignored. It is with great regret that I have to remove one of the most experienced votetakers from UKVoting but in the end a votetaker must take his responsibilities seriously, and maintain a high level of service from UKVoting. And please note that the decision to declare a vote NULL & VOID was not taken lightly and hopefully should not ever happen again. Following this incident UKVoting have adopted the following as part of their procedures: 1) A vote-taker who has accepted assignment of a CFV or who has a results post pending should notify UKVoting via the internal mailing list if they are expecting to be away on holiday for a period longer then a week, or if they may be absent from a means of accessing their email. 2) It is now a requirement of UKVoting that members provide contact details to the Co-Ordinator of UKVoting, and keep these details up to date. Thanks Swinny - Rob Felton Co-Ordinator, UKVoting (mailto:ukvoting@usenet.org.uk) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6 iQCVAgUBNmxWtmOfGXkh8vHZAQFufQP/Y8KdHYoXFFoY0/NpYvWeBMYBH2IM4Lfv n65p5Dy/BOIh+b7gmBffrX5X/mrlywQXx4N8dqNEuVW2PiQi4KrCP/Ux4oRHwXX+ JbsFfv7OsLqjYym5uz2PgQT/Hseu/eB05OMffDujTsUN3sUbnZXRWSH0rABGhLnb VY50Tprfd30= =7w0p -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
