[NCUC-DISCUSS] Acceptance of nomination for NCUC EC

[Andrew A. Adams]

The point about having a Treasurer (or Secretary-Treasurer) who is a 
non-voting member of the EC is to ensure that the committee has a person who 
holds those responsibilities and is able to replace them should that person 
resign with no notice, and therefore minimum disruption. I actually see no 
problem with Milton acting as non-eleccted non-voting treasurer, as the 
person who provides factual information and services to the committee ("we 
have this much money in hand, of which this much is already committee but not 
spent, and we have this much due to come in from these sources...") and as a 
voting elected member giving his exxpert opinion. So long as Milton believes 
he has the capacity to provide both sets of services to the committe, then I 
see no ethical reason to prohibit it and no reason to interpret the rules as 
forbidding it, since it is not explicit about whether the non-voting 
treasurer can also hold a voting position. It's simply that the treasurer 
automatically sits on the committee but has not vote due to that position. If 
they hold a voting position then they vote from that position.
