Posted by Mike Bourdaa (STF President). Ah, Edict #2.. This one’s a grab bag, so I’ll just go through em one at a time.
-
Mike Barclay, a former STFer a couple years back, has returned. He has been readmitted to STF at the rank of Commodore. The reason is, he was a long time, committed, member, he left at the rank of modern Admiral (the last STF admiral since myself), and he’s being given a shot again to see what he can do.
-
I am commissioning a new ship in the Fifth Fleet. The USS Harrier, Phoenix class, will enter service immediately. Her CO will be the aforementioned Commodore Barclay.
-
I’ve made Commodore Ballway squirm enough. He is officially retained as FComm-2. Likewise, Den Hannigan is officially appointed to become FComm-1, and Franco Torres is official as FComm-3.
-
Adam StClair, currently the XO of the USS Andorian, is being promoted to the rank of Captain. He will take over command of the USS Futura.
-
Ah, the big one. A little bit of election reform. Our current election edicts work well for a small club, as STF once was, but some modifications are necessary now, in my opinion, some changes are now necessary.
From now on, nominations for President will require a “second”, before they can be accepted.
Additionally, the Election Commissioner will have the option to count votes either manually, or by electronic ballot (as part of a yet-to-be-written WeBB component), at his discression.
Lastly, recognizing the need to keep political campaigning as minimal as possible, to provide as small a disruption as possible, I am banning “spam.” However, it is not restricted to this.
Therefore, Any member who sends unsolicited emails to other members, for the purposes of either political campaigning, selling or promoting a product or service, or harassment in general, will be subject to banishment from STF.
