Neutral announcements concerning the election may be made. No support messages in IRC quit messages are permitted.

In order to be eligible, candidates must:

  1. Hold a minimum member rank of Fleet Captain
  2. Been an active member for at least eight continuous months prior to the election being held (excluding routine Leaves of Absence).

Voting members must:

  1. Hold a minimum member rank of Fleet Captain
  2. Currently be an active member as defined by MOO.

The third paragraph under the “Election Rules” section in EEEGO is to be changed to:
