Hey Guys and Gals,
Sorry I haven't been on here to address this. I just haven't made time for the ICSCC Forums lately, and didn't realize there was such a discussion going on about the proposed rule that TC has put up.
The fundamental intent of the proposed change is to give the drivers more of a voice in the process of selecting the ICSCC President. The actual selection is still in the hands of the E-Board, but the idea here is that we are providing a mechanism through which the clubs can offer candidates for E-Board consideration, and also to give the EBReps a feel for the desires of their constituents.
As Bob Mearns pointed out early in this thread, the basic flow is:
- Each club submits one nominee for president to the Steward, through their Contest Board Reps.
- The list of nominees is compiled by the Steward and sent back to the clubs (via the Contest Board Reps - via the rules proposal voting process - the same process we are all going have our clubs vote on before the Fall Meeting). Each club votes at their respective rules change meetings.
- At the Contest Board meeting, the CB reps report their clubs' votes, and each club's vote is weighted by that club's member count. The nominee with the most votes is submitted to the E-board as a nominee.
I hope that this is clear enough. It follows the same process as a rules change submission, so it should not be any more unusual or complicated than that process, which is what the proposed process was based on.
