Happy New Year!

Once again Yahoo did not send out the monthly reminder to check in. So
here is my reminder to do so.

Chapter membership reports are due no later the the 7th of every month!
No changes? Just a message sent to < icg-treasurer@costume.org > stating
that is all you need to do.

Good afternoons! 

I would like to remind everyone that Costume Con is coming and with it, our annual ICG Elections. All who are interested (including any current officers who are willing to serve again!) are invited to submit nominations.

Per our Standing Rules:

1. Nominations for Officers of the Corporation shall be made in writing to the President of the Corporation at least 30 days in advance of the annual meeting. It is recommended that the President of the Corporation has served at least one term as a Chapter President, Chapter Representative, or as an ICG officer. [Adopted 2/15/1990, Amended 4/25/2012]

Nominations are due by February 22. Earlier is ok too! 

Our fabulous Jeanine Swick has agreed to run for Treasurer again, and I'm willing to serve another year as President if you'll have me, though providing options for the ICG's constituents is never a bad thing! 

Also, LAA nominations are due by January 22 so we have time for the actual vote! We have a couple nominations in already this year and I'm always happy to receive more. It's a pleasure to make the choice as fiendishly difficult as possible.

Happy New Year,

Marianne Pease

ICG President

(Dang yahoo messing replying)

I'll second.
-Judy Mitchell, Northern Lights

 

Yahoo has been giving people problems with voting -- not everyone, but enough to be a problem.  So, we'd like to consider using another voting method.  We need:

-- Board members to receive e-mail notification of a vote, including:

------ what is being voted on

------ link to where to cast vote

------ dates/times the vote opens and closes

We want to do this as automatically as possible.  We want a process or platform that will: 

--- automatically send out notifications to the e-mail addresses of BoD members (and who should be in charge of sending these out? As Recording Secretary, I'm inclined to think it's me, but I think Jeanine has been doing it, especially for budget votes)

--- host a poll that multiple people can confirm the vote tally on

---------------------------------

Can Slack do this?  

I'm looking at Slack now and I can go to the BoardofDirectors Channel on the left side. 

In the upper middle I can see where I can 'View Member List', which I assume is just the people in the BoardofDiectors Channel. 

Then I can see the list of people on in this channel on the far right side.

But that is as far as I get.  I don't see an obvious way to send an e-mail notification to everyone in the BoardofDiectors Channel. Nor do I see any way to set up a poll in Slack. However, I'm a pretty minimal user for Slack. Please, if someone is more experienced, let me know.  I can keep poking at Slack and google it a bit and maybe find the controls I'm not seeing.

One thing that has to be kept in mind. Not all members of the BoD have voting rights. Someone can correct me if I am wrong but voting is only open to the elected ICG officers and the one designated rep from each chapter.

It also must guarantee that all votes are secret ballot.

We might consider having a VotingBoardofDirectors channel on Slack where only voting BoD members have access.  Do we have any requirements for secret ballots?  I've never heard of any.  If we did that, then someone -- say the Recording Secretary -- could tally the results and everyone else could see it.

That would take care of of the voting/polling part.  But what about the notifications?

It looks like from this page, you can bcc e-mail from Slack:

But I haven't figure out how to bcc everyone on a specific channel.  So, there are possibilities.
