Edict #31
Edict #30-J is being repealed. (Although, I am using most of the wording, I wanted to add a few parts and change others.)
STF Election season shall commense on Monday, July 3rd. Nominations shall be open from Midnight on the morning of 7/3/2000 until one minute before midnight the evening of Sunday, 7/9/2000.
Campaigning may begin only after a nomination has been properly made, seconded, and accepted with announcement of the nominee’s running mate.
Campaigning will be restricted to “STF Election 2000”, a special OOC area devoted entirely to the election. It will be accessible from all fleets and will go online July 2nd.
IRC Campaigning shall be restricted to non-official rooms, except that members may place an election slogan in their IRC quit message. They may not however repeatedly join and quit just to keep the message being repeated; the IDept, being in charge of the #star-fleet room, shall be responsible for enforcing this rule. No Campaign restriction shall be made for non-official rooms on STF’s IRC server.
No spamming of any kind (unsolicited emailing, AIM, etc) Stay away from the MOTDs too, folks. (“Vote Jimmy Pop 2000.” is not allowed. “Make sure you vote for the elections.” is allowed. See the EC if you are not clear on something.)
Voting shall last two weeks, beginning at midnight, Monday July 17th, and ending just before midnight on Sunday, July 30th. Results shall be announced on Monday, J(uly) 31st, and the new President shall take office at noon on Tuesday, August 1st. Voting shall occur via the WeBB’s built in voting routine.
Mike Bourdaa is hereby appointed to the office of Election Coordinator [EC]. He will be in charge of enforcing the above rules and will have final say on ruling. It is up to him if he would like to have a IRC debate and will be expected to announce any additions to the rules shortly. (Seeing that he wrote half of this edict, I don’t see it likely happening…)
