Town Hall - updates please?
 

Can we have some updates to the Town Hall, please?

Specific questions:

1) Are there now to be only nine members of TB? Formerly there were always 10. I'd read or heard somewhere that 9 members meant less chance of a tie vote, but that's specious reasoning because motions require a two-thirds majority to pass. (There's a small difference between requiring 7 of 10 votes to pass vs 6 of 9.)

2) Who are the president and vice-president of TB? Since it's been more than one year since their election, isn't it time for a new vote given that TB chose a one-year term for these TB officials?

Looking forward to the responses,

FewMiles..

Excellent question.

I was under the impression that Chexfan was the Vice President. With the current president just having finished his 1 year term I suspect they will be having another set of elections pretty soon. Plenty of good new candidates to pick for the role of president IMHO.

Agree 100%. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

But Cigarman has declared himself on these boards many times before as 'President for Life'. How do they get around that? Sending in the Marines works for the US. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Marines are currently over-extended.

Perhaps we could get the Supreme Court to review the election results? They might be able to "correct" the results in some fashion acceptable to Rupert Murdoch.

I guess life is short.

FewMiles..

Be careful what you wish or lobby for... you dont want me to run for President, do you...?

Ah, Bananas There's just one problem...

I supported you as TB member and I'd sure as heck support you as President if I had the choice. Diplomacy isn't something we all have in us.

Sure, why not? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

FewMiles..

But Gaucho, you can't run... I need you to be my campaign manager http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

I can't wait to see the campaign goodies.

Consider myself hired!!!!! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif

Please direct me to where you have your campaign slush fund, I have to start paying the usual suspects. Lets start with the press, where is that WSJ fellow where you need him...?

"From: Buenos Aires & Jakarta"

Oh no .. you are not STILL trying to get rid of those Argy Pesos and Rupees are you? THEY will not buy much slush at all.

Gaucho for President with Missy as VP.

Sounds like a good team to me. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif

You guys! I back Missy for president! She has proved herself worthy of running organizations by her effectiveness in several years of SEA-DOs.

Well as a compromise I BET Gaucho is prepared to wear high heels. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Can we call the campaign "Women on Top?"

Stilettos on men, girls on top, bribes, slush funds etc.

Jerry Springer will be in contact to do a show on you guys any day. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif

Why do you think there were so many of us running? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/confused.gif

It's party central, dude! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif

I dont wear heels, thank you very much. As for the top or bottom issue, I will take both, thank you kindly. BTW, Im not running for TB President.... Im the official TB Clown and Troublemaker, that keeps me as busy as I want to be.

HHHHmmm...

I thought Troublemaker was my role... Was I replaced and missed the memo Gaucho? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

William

Learn a lot still... you must... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Based on precedent isn't that the PRIMARY requirement for a TB President. ;

Yes, you have made your, er, position clear http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Any updates here?

If the Town Hall section of the website cannot be updated for whatever reason, can we at least have someone from the TB acknowledge that these issues have been picked up and are being discussed?

Thanks,
FewMiles..
