This looks about right - 5% leaders, 95% followers. Do we need to wait longer for volunteers to come forward or can we open a voting thread now? Maybe we need a voting thread on how long to wait?
Who's gonna jump the shark?

Which is another controversial thing, on which consensus isn't trivial. Optimally theymos would just put a hard deadline and say "make up your mind". Thanks for keeping a list!

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.

I've seen the names due to xhomerx10. You are correct on the latter part, people who do not confirm that they want to or at least would be willing to, shouldn't be put on a list.

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?

I was thinking more in the lines of senior member or even hero member IMO. Someone who hasn't been here for at least a year doesn't really fully understand: 1) The forum rules (unless he/she/it spent most of their time learning this). 2) The "WO thread etiquette".

Or maybe the thread owner could become permanent and only subject to the removal of Theymos and/or global mods?

What I was wondering about was whether theymos could give multiple people "ownership" of the thread (sorry if I have missed this post). This would make this somewhat easier for the person that ends up doing it.

Anyone think that a three member election committee might work of folks who are not running?

That seems like a decent idea. Being allowed to vote for yourself is a double edged sword (if the votes are public that is).

Then we have to do a quickie vote on the election committee, possibly?

That could work, but who votes on the election committee? It does not seem like we would be making progress.
