Hi James,

>Any additional, dissenting or agreeing, thoughts? New Council

I am fine with Fabio's proposals.

Looking forward to building reliable relations and contributing to the work of the Technical Council.

Kind regards
Stefanie

Objet: Re: [tei-council] Electing a TEI Technical Council Chair for next	year.

In general I think it would be nice to have a formal procedure since
we cannot foresee if future composition of the Council could generate
conflict (I guess not, but...), especially if there is more than one
candidate.

In my opinion

1) the person who organise and act as the scrutineer can be the the
senior member (better than the current Chair since in theory he will
have less conflicts of interests) if he is not standing for election;
otherwise the Council can ask the Board to designate a member for that
role.

2) direct mail is a viable solution to express votes, since the
votings members are only 11, but also a doodle can work. We can avoid
(or reduce) spamming keeping it open for just one or two days and
giving the link in this mailing list only one day before.

But if there is only one candidate and all the Council members feel
fine with him (or more formally if no member of the Council explicitly
ask for the voting procedure)  I agree with Hugh, we can proceed by
acclamation. And finally, I am even less competent than Hugh, so I
will not stand for election :-)
