"Amendments to #P96.02.01B: 'Rules and Procedures for the ASR
Round Table'"
Proposal: To substitute the following text for the section 1.C.1
of the ASR 'Rules and Procedures'.
-----
1.C.1 CINCSF
The player of CINCSF - and thus the Chair of the RT - is elected
under the rules of this section by the RT members. This election
shall, in the first instance, be held during the April RT of each
calendar year, although elections during the October RT will be
permitted either under the conditions of the rules of this section
or where the incumbent's first term begins in a session other than
the April RT.
The period of office of CINCSF shall be twelve months for the
first term. For the purposes of this document, 'first term' shall
be interpreted as any term of office in which a different person
held the position during the period between the last RT session
and the current one.
The process for election shall occur as follows:
a) From the 'Call of the Roll' by the Secretary - as described in
section 4.A.1 - nominations of eligible members of the RT shall be
accepted by the Secretary, for the position of CINCSF. All
nominations must be seconded by an eligible member of the RT who
has confirmed their intent to sit at the upcoming session.
b) Nominations for the position of CINCSF shall close at midnight
GMT on the last day before the RT session is to commence. Any and
all nominations shall then be included in section 3.A of the
docket, submitted by the Secretary as the Agenda of the RT
session.
c) The periods for discussion and voting on candidates are as
described in 5.B.2.c. The discussion period shall commence no
later than 24 hrs from the time the session of the RT is convened,
giving the Secretary time to submit the Agenda and session roll
before discussion begins.
d) In all instances, the number of votes required to elect the
player of CINCSF shall be one half of the votes cast plus one.
e) In the event that no nominations for the position of CINCSF are
received by the close of nominations and in the event that the
current CINCSF confirms in writing to the RT - no later than 24
hrs from the beginning of the session - their desire to continue
until the next scheduled regular session of the RT, then said
person shall be reappointed CINCSF without the requirement of a
vote by the members of the RT.
f) In the event that no nominations for the position of CINCSF are
received by the close of nominations and in the event that the
current CINCSF does not wish to continue in that position, the
Chair, or acting Chair, of the current session of the RT, shall
reopen nominations for the position of CINCSF and hold and
election as described in 1.C.1 of this document. The Chair, or
acting Chair, shall hence have the power to extend the session,
without the need of successful motions from the RT body, until
such time as a player of CINCSF is duly elected.
g) Any second or subsequent continuous term of CINCSF by the same
player shall last only until the next regular session of the RT.
From the Call of the Roll of this next session, nominations shall
again be accepted for the position of CINCSF and an election as
described 1.C.1 of this ducument shall occur.
h) In the event that the player of CINCSF resigns the position
more than 30 days before a scheduled regular session of the RT,
the Flag Council must appoint an acting CINCSF until the next
scheduled regular session of the RT. An election for CINCSF must
then be conducted - under the rules of 1.C.1 - at this next
session with one exception: any acting CINCSF must be confirmed by
a majority vote of the RT body as described in 1.C.1.d.
