[NCUC-DISCUSS] Acceptance of nomination for NCUC EC

[Remmy Nweke]

Thanks Bill for throwing this up.

Based on clamour for Milton to contest for elective position with voting right it is VIP for him to make a choice between now two positions. Speak out Prof. Since the hoards have not abated.

On Tapani point on separation of powers and likely conflict of interest, its +1 from me and there is a wise saying in two good heads are better than one.

Reading the bylaws literally it would not seem possible.

On the other hand we've already dropped the secretary
part as you note, and I don't see any explicit reason
against one of the EC members having access to the
bank account, so the EC might decide not to have
anybody formally nominated as Secretary-Treasurer
at all and let Milton handle the bank account anyway.

On the third hand, it would be useful to have two people
with access to the bank account, if only because Milton
might be unavailable at some time. So perhaps this would
be a good opportunity to find someone else for the job, even
if in practice he or she would only to act as Milton's backup.

Exactly.
