**F&EL GROUP HOST ELECTION**VOTE**HERE**1 Week election [View all]

This discussion thread was locked by uppityperson (a host of the Frugal and Energy Efficient Living group).

We're all grateful to Hutzpa for serving as interim Lead Host, and Starboard Tack and maddezmom for secondary hosts, so thank you very much for your service.

Now--every Group community has the right to determine (1) whether they want a Host at all, and (2) who the Host(s) will be. So without further adieu, we are voting on THREE questions. Here's the ballot--copy and paste into your response. We'll let the election go for 1 week if everyone agrees (similar to how LGBT and other Groups recently held their Group Host election). At the end, we'll tally up the votes and send the results to Skinner.

1. Does F&EL need a Host? (Yes, No)

2. If the community majority decides that it DOES need a Host, who should be the Lead Host, permanent position unless resigns or voted out, as DU rules now are? (Nominate someone here)

3. Who, if anyone, should be secondary Hosts? (Nominate people here)

After we get nominations, assuming that the majority winner WANTS the position, we'll send the results to Skinner. If someone nominates you and you don't WANT to serve, please say so clearly.

Thanks all. Go vote!

I am lukewarm about the need for a host. Perhaps as the group grows it might be more necessary. kestrel91316 Dec 2011 #43
