We could reduce<br>> that down now that we are a young chapter and we would like to woo<br>> members to WMKE.<br><br></div><div>We can consider changing the right to appeal to the next meeting rather than the next AGM. However, I think that membership denial will be a rarity.</div><div><br>> * What if the person over seeing the election is not comfortable to<br>> cast the tie breaker vote?I think we should hold a reelection<br>> immediately. for instance, there was such a scenario at parliament<br>> some time back and the speaker said they must hold the election<br>> again... It would be fair that way.</div><div><br></div><div>Errrr, I don't totally agree with you in that. Personally, if you tell me to vote again, I will still select the same person(s), regardless of the re-election. you'd have to get support for me to change that clause. At Wikimedia UK, the tie breaker is the one overseeing the elections. At Wikimedia Australia, it's the Chairman who acts as the tie-breaker. </div><div> <br>//abbas.</div></div> </div></body>
