------------------------------------------------------------------ P97.01.02 Jari Makela Passed "Term Limits for CINCSF" ------------------------------------------------------------------ Title: The length of term for CINCSF Author: Jari Makela Summary: The length of term for CINCSF is to be defined to be one year from one April RoundTable session to the next. Rationale: It is the opinion of this representative, that the length of time the CINCSF is elected to serve in the position should not be indefinite, with the only way out being a voluntary retirement or a VNC. Having an election every year, gives us an opportunity to ensure that we have the best possible CINCSF at any given time, elected from among candidates who feel that they have something to offer to the club at large. Text: The length of the term for which CINCSF serves in the office after having been elected is to be defined as the length of time counting from one April RoundTable session to the next. The number of subsequent terms is not limited, i.e. the person leaving the office of CINCSF is not prohibited from participating as a candidate in the following election, or in any future elections. No motions to automatically skip the election to reinstate the current CINCSF are to be accepted. If an election takes place in other than a regular April Round Table session, the elected CINCSF will serve until the next regular April Round Table session, at which a new election will be held. The current CINCSF officially holds the position until the new one is elected, unless he/she is also a candidate, in which case an acting Chair is to be appointed. --Jari Makela CINCGREEN jarim@cc.tut.fi
