[NCUC-DISCUSS] Non Contracted Parties House Election Procedures 2011

Thu Feb 13 17:28:15 CET 2014

Hi,

Just checking:

Are you suggesting that each of NCUC and NPOC pick someone and then we 
have a NCSG primary for its pick?

Not that I am recommending it, might be interesting though.

What we do not have is a process for picking a candidate.  Last time, I 
talk to bunch of people and put myself forward - no one objected (seeing 
how i did, perhaps they should have - strategically I mean)

In any case I think this is the sort of thing that NCSG EC/PC had better 
figure out quickly.

In any case, I plan to put my self forward again for the NCSG/NCUC 
consideration for a rematch - I won the first ballot, he the second, who 
would win the third?

Though perhaps we could find a better strategic choice. We need a 
candidate who can get some of the CSG votes, otherwise we don't stand a 
chance. Also while a candidate can sometimes count on SG support in the 
first round of an election, it is very hard to hold all of the SG votes 
in a second round.  I think this is a general rule of such rounds of 
voting.  In that case the one with the stronger unifying force tends to 
be persuasive.
