<div dir='auto'>Many +1's for a candidate do not show "popularity", but strong support from the community, indicating that s/he represents many voices and positions in this community. This should be well received and well interpreted by the EC. Or should the EC nominate someone who is supported by only a few people in the community?

two most recent Nomcom reps, to tell them the challenges of

</div>
<div>Few questions on my mind. </div>
<div>Are there any voting guidelines, nomination
guidelines, campaign guidelines etc?. if yes, i think
all this information will have to be made available to
all members and if no, we will have to begin to work on
one.</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Also, when does voting starts and ends and for how
long?. I no in some instances voting is done for a
period of one week or more.</div>

<br />
What makes me worried about some of the +1<br />
- people who never contribute, yet sometimes
oppose openly to NCUC's<br />
actions +1'ing candidates<br />
- observers on the list who are holding positions
in other stakeholder<br />
groups - again normally having opposite positions.
even if not voting,<br />
attempting to influence an election<br />
- a +1 w/ no justification leaves us to wonder
whether there's a real<br />
reason for support or it's "i'm friends w/ the
candidate"<br />
- new members rarely get +1s. this makes the
elections look like the<br />
dancing chairs game with always the same ppl
playing<br />
<br />
That being said, it's a good thermometer of a
candidacy. Including the<br />
show its transparency.<br />
<br />
So thanks for the candidates participation once
more and members<br />
voices in the process<br />
<br />
Best,<br />
<br />
Renata<br />
