Election time ....
 

Hey community members. In case you might have missed it, there's currently a call among all members for candidates to help represent the members of FlyerTalk over the next year on the TalkBoard. Really is a great opportunity to help meet new members and as well do something great for the community.

Here's the link to the announcement and your chance to guide some of the decisions on FlyerTalk:

NOTE: So far only nine candidates for the 4 open positions so your chances might be better than you think. I'd run myself but they sort of gave me the benevolent dictator role some years ago. Good luck if you decide to run.

NikDemus: Thanks for being candidate #10

Anyone else want to be considered a candidate?

Quick quiz: The first candidate this year to register? A: danielbk

Randy-

I tried clicking on the link you provided (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/talkb...dates-416.html) and got this...

:confused:

I received the same error when I tried earlier today. You can find a good link in this post.

Goalie, that is automatic disqualification for you :D

I did try to check it out and get the same result, I thought Randy doesn't want me to sign up :p

Thank you and that I have seen-thought Randy's link was for something else

Candidate #11: bhatnasx

Thank you.

I considered running, but the Q&A of the candidates covers a lot of StarMegado2 time (depart 10/31 & return really late the 7th or midday the 8th) & so I wouldn't be around to answer the questions. I know I actually read everyone's responses before voting, so have to assume not being able to 'til towards the end would probably hurt me. Too bad because with not that many candidates, I might actually stand a chance!

Cheers.

I'm not physically around either, but don't you have internet access? Isn't that how this works? Answering via posting? I must be confused.

Last time I ran
 

I came in BEHIND a member who had been established as a troll and was subsequently banned.

So I won't be running again :)

I'm on StarMegado2, which means we're going from early morning 'til late night for a solid week, so realistically will not be on i-net much, if at all, and the infrequent times I will be, clients will take priority.

I leave at oh-dawn-hundred on Sunday, and looking at the schedule I might have a couple hours on Thurs & maybe a bit on Sat, but other than that I really won't have access until mid-day sometime on the 8th.

So if I decided to run technically I could catch up on all the questions on the 8th or 9th & answer them then, but folk might wonder why I'm not responding & not realize I'm on SMD2. Of course if other folk running are also on SMD2 then I wouldn't be the only one to respond late.

Cheers.

If you do run, consider adding a (temp) signature to inform voters you plan to answer the questions in your SMD2 free time so folks know you mean business.

Not sure if this is of any comfort. I recall there's at least one candidate who didn't answer any of the questions but got a good number of votes a couple of years back. I forgot if he was elected though.

Hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the suggestion.

Cheers.

Candidate #12: karung99

Thank you.

Just curious - are you going to list candidates 1-9? You're listing the ones who have signed up since you put out the call for candidates. Or do we find out everyone on Nov 1 or 2? :)

Cheers.
