Re: [EURO-Discuss] Voting procedure for ALAC seats
That wasn't the point Thomas. You all will have to sort things out between yourselves. The point was that it isn't usual or good practice to explain votes, state support for candidates, or anything related to an election during an election, except to raise a point of clarification if there is a lack of understanding. My statement was a statement of fact, a reminder of good practice in the conduct of elections. On 18/05/07, Thomas Roessler <roessler@does-not-exist.org> wrote:

May I suggest to everyone that it is usual, during voting, not to either explain votes, state support for candidatures or choices, or the opposite.
May I suggest that this is a question that the parties affected can very well sort out without staff supervision?

Your statement was one particular view as to how elections are to be conducted. Others might disagree. Very frankly, I don't think you should be pushing this particular kind of discussion from the staffer's seat. -- Thomas Roessler <roessler@does-not-exist.org>

Sure. Can you show any election (I mean, a serious one, not some banana republic one) where the rules of the game are changed during the elections? Incidentally, can we have a list of who can speak, as we have for the time being already excluded Nick, as staff, and yours truly, as Board member, but you still have said nothing to comment the proclaim I have referenced in my previous email (attached again, in case it was forgotten), that you have carefully avoided to comment? Is this behaviour by a former ALAC Chair acceptable? If a banana republic is the model you have for EURALO, that's probably what you will get. But then you will have difficulties to acquire any credibility. Your choice. Cheers, Roberto
