Amending the new Ombudsman process
Now only 80 or so people form the running pool as well as who make the decision, and no one knows how and why those people were chosen by their LGs. This motion would widen the number of people who are qualified to serve and widen the number of members making the choice.
OTOH, we should give the new system a chance to work.
OTOOH, this is the only opportunity to discuss and vote on this without it being a reflection on whoever is serving as Ombudsman.
And this does not implement the changes, but merely sends it to the members to vote on.
Bob spoke to how thoroughly the voting ombudsman in this current process understood the issues and platforms of the candidates. Ken and Art concurred.
Greg said that only 40 ballots for Ombudsman were received. On the other hand, 17 AMC members make the decision about who serves as voting appointing officers.
Once again, I’m really torn on this one. I like the concept of the new process, but I think it should be improved. I also think we should give the new process a chance before amending it.
Vote: Dan, Heather, and Russ in favor. Everyone else opposed.
