October 13, 2017- Ex Com E-Vote: Approval of NTT Seat Special Election Timetable and Nomination Form

FSU EX COM E-VOTE 10/13/17

Ex Com was asked to vote on the following on 10/13/17 (NOTE: the nomination form referenced as an attachment below is at the end of this document). The FSU Executive Committee voted to approve the NTT Ex Com seat special election timetable and nomination form on 10/13/17. The votes were 7 in favor; 0 opposed; 5 members did not vote.

1.  If you have not yet voted on having a special election to  fill the vacant ex com seat for an ntt member, please vote now.  (there is a separate email thread on this. 
2. Please also vote on whether you vote for the timetable below and the nomination form (attached).  Note the short deadline and timetable, with announcing the position and having applications in all during next week. 

Rationale from elections committee:  The schedule was established to make sure that the NTT constituency has full representation as soon as possible. Executive Committee meetings  are scheduled for November 9th and December 7th.   Pushing the election beyond November 6th means the NTTs are not fully represented, and an additional member to assist in executive committee tasks,  until the last meeting of the semester. This is unacceptable as our largest constituency deserves a full number of committee members.
