<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><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><br></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><br></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><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>-T</div></div>
