Hey all,<br>
<br>
Not only is self-nomination cool and in the constitution, it's also
encouraged!<br>
<br>
For all the reasons Tennessee has given, anybody interested in being
on the council should put their hand up. It's a great way to ask
questions about what is involved, share your points of view and make
it known that you're keen.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

</div>
<div>Only a very small number of people have been nominated for
the top two org chart positions. Fewer still have accepted. Is
there anyone here who would like to be nominated? I don't
represent any view other than my own here. My view is that
people should just feel free to self identify. I personally
think the reliance on an external nomination probably reduces
the likelihood that interested parties are identified. A more
relaxed approach to self-nomination might help, but people
could well still be reluctant to risk feeling silly for doing
so. For example, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to
self-nominate unless someone told me it was cool to go ahead
and do.
</div>

</div>
<div>So my suggestion to anyone who might be interested in any
position would be to email a friendly individual, possibly
with prior council experience, and just get their view. </div>

<div>While I've never been on council here, I have been involved
in running other volunteer groups. In general, I would
describe the level of interest in hearing from possible
candidates as "desperately interested". I think people should
feel welcome to consider putting their hat in the ring, and
then just see how it goes.</div>
