Based on what Theymos is saying, it seems most practical to attempt to finish nominations within a few days or a week at most, and thereafter create a thread to conduct a vote - maybe a 3-4 days voting period. Someone who is not running could probably run the vote.

Has someone started keeping a list of potential candidates? Can people nominate themselves or do you have to necessarily nominate someone else or both? Who gets to vote? Why?

In other words: Easier said than done.

A few guys have been posting potential candidates in this thread, who seem to be willing to run. Some guys nominated themselves and some nominated others; however, of course it would seem to be a waste of energies if we were to include someone in the vote who has not confirmed that s/he is willing to run and carry out the duties and responsibilities.

There are some guys trying to structure this, such as Kurious, but I don't think that all of the questions have been answered yet in terms of who gets to vote.

Maybe there could be a requirement, that you have to have posted in the WO thread at least 5 times or something like that? Or maybe that you have to be at least a member? You are correct, Lauda, that some of that can be controversial, and in that regard, sometimes the election committee would not be the same ones who are running, or at least should not be.

I would not mind being on an election committee, and say that I am not running, but maybe the election committee would be three peeps, and then hopefully would just agree on rules in which others would run and then establish a thread owner for a year or something and then possibly revisit the matter a year later, if needed? Or maybe the thread owner could become permanent and only subject to the removal of Theymos and/or global mods?

Anyone think that a three member election committee might work of folks who are not running? Then we have to do a quickie vote on the election committee, possibly? Then the election committee communicates the hopefully reasonable rules.. and maybe all of this is done in the open in another thread, at least the voting portion... the discussion could probably take place in this thread, no?
