The only problem is that we have not really defined what the role of the council will be. I propose that somebody please write up a short statement, maybe just a paragraph, that defines the role and powers of the council, a length of term, and specify what the checks and balances are in order to make sure that their power is kept at a reasonable level. I propose that the Admins are allowed to veto anything the council decides if it has a 2/3 vote.
We have a list of nominees; however, we have yet to find out how many of these nominees are actually interested in the position. I think we need to consolidate the list, and allow the nominees to decline or agree to being on the ballot. This should only take a few days. Also, nobody really said how many nominations are required in order to get on the ballot. I will assume 1, unless people object.
In addition, I think we should allow the nominees to give at least one small speech, to allow people to understand their views. Maybe even a debate or two. Otherwise, we are voting for them based on their previous posts and it is nothing more than a popularity contest.
In short, I think that people are trying to rush this with out really thinking it through. At this point, we are basing our votes on the posts from the other site, and we really have nothing more to go on besides that.
