    * Position to be Elected:

    

        The election is for the position of FIDO_SYSOP Echo Moderator.  The

        responsibilities of the Moderator include but are not limited to:

    

        -- To maintain and enforce the Echo Rules.

    

        -- To ensure that the Echo's listing in the ELIST is updated as needed.

    

    * Voter Eligibility:

    

        The eligible list is based on the FidoNet NodeList published on Jul 24,

        2015 (Day 205.)

    

        Each sysop has one vote, regardless of how many nodes s/he operates.

    

        Nodes with more than one sysop get only one vote.

    

        Nodes marked 'Down' are not eligible to vote.

    

    * Nominations, Candidates:

    

        Nominations will be placed in the FIDO_SYSOP echo conference.  To be

        a candidate, a FidoNet sysop must be seconded by another FidoNet

        sysop.  An individual may not nominate himself or second himself.

        Nominations, seconds, and acceptances MUST be confirmed via netmail

        to the vote counter at 1:320/119 BEFORE the close of the nomination

        period.

    

    * Election:

    

        At the close of balloting, the vote counter will verify the results,

        and a summary of the results will be posted in FIDO_SYSOP.

    

        The vote counter will not disclose any node's vote to any other node.

    

        In the event only there is only one candidate properly nominated

        s/he will become the new Moderator, effective Jun 19, 2015.

    

    * Comments by the Candidates:

    

        Comments by Moderator candidates are to be posted in FIDO_SYSOP no later

    than

        23:59 on Aug 14.  After that, they must STOP campaigning in FIDO_SYSOP

        until the voting period ends.  All discussion will take place in

        FIDO_SYSOP.

    

    * Who Wins?

    

        The winner will be determined as the candidate receiving more than half

        of the number of valid votes, otherwise known as a majority.

    

    * Challenges, Election Results:

    

        The results may be challenged by sending netmail to the Enforcer at

        1:320/119.  It must be received before 23:59:59 UTC on Sep 12, 2015.  No

        complaints or contested votes will be considered if received late.

    

        If the election is declared invalid, a new election shall begin as

        soon as possible, within 14 days of the previous election being declared

        invalid.

    

    * How to SEND your vote:

    

        ALL BALLOTS MUST BE NETMAIL ADDRESSED TO 'Enforcer' at 1:320/119.

    

        You can route your ballot if you choose, but if you value your privacy

        and want to ensure arrival, you should send it directly to 1:320/119.

        Return receipts will be sent via direct or routed netmail.  Those return

        receipts will contain NO information except that a vote was received from

        your node.

    

    * HOW TO VOTE:

    

        - Write a a NETMail message addressed to 'Enforcer' at 1:320/119.

    

        - Subject line doesn't matter.

    

        - Write the name of the valid candidate you want to vote for in the body

          of the message.  A final list of valid candidates will be posted on

          Jun 19 in FIDO_SYSOP.  Write-in candidates are not allowed.

    

        - Make up a password of ten (10) characters or less, and put that in the

          body of the message too.

    

        NOTE:  Your password will be displayed (case insensitive) with your

        choice in FIDO_SYSOP so you can know that your ballot was counted

    correctly.

        In addition, votes received that do not meet ALL of the above conditions

        will not be counted until corrected by the voter.

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

    

      When your vote is received, it will NOT be machine-processed.  Don't poll

      to pick up a receipt.  The Enforcer will send a direct or routed netmail

      receipt to you confirming that he received a ballot but there will be no

      other information in the receipt.

    

      To ensure that your vote was counted properly, you may check the periodic

      posting of passwords/candidates in FIDO_SYSOP.

    

    * That's it.  Enjoy the election!

    

    Andrew

    INFO:
    
    Fidogazette is published by Janis Kracht, Editor.  
    
    If you have an idea for a column or a series of articles, 
    please contact me :)
    
    New! 
    Mailing-List subscriptions via 
          http://www.filegate.net/sub.html
    
    but of course you can always link into your uplink and use 
    Tick or a tick compatible program.
    
    Where to Send Your Articles
    
    Unlike most editors, I surely do not  mind running my mouth
    when there is a sparsity of articles for the 'zine.  I'd
    MUCH rather you sent in material...  lacking that, I will
    fill these issues with my meanderings and thoughts and
    hopefully we will grow into something of consequence here
    :)
    
    Write an article!
    
    If you WOULD like to submit an article, feel free to drop
    your article off at:
    
    Email attach to address: janis @ filegate.net
     
    Fidonet attach: Janis Kracht at 1:261/38
     Modem: 607-200-4076 
     Binkp: 1:261/100 filegate.net port 24555 
     telnet mailer: filegate.net
    
    If you are using routed Fidonet mail, don't send articles as routed 
    attaches.  They will fail somewhere along the path before getting here.
    Send them instead direct to filegate.net.
       
    Give it a title, sign your name and network address if you have
    one and send it along!
    
    Don't worry about the format, I can take anything you send me
    and mutilate it further as you can see above.  Linux is nice
    that way (g).  Spell checking your own work will help though
    (something I'm typically guilty of (g)).
     
    To send reviews or recipes to the Food section, email or
    netmail Janis as above.
    
    Email address for submissions to Dr.Debug:
      To send a question to Dr. Debug, email a question to:
          drdebug @  filegate.net 
      or post in the fidogazette echo!  :)
    
    To send a listing to the FidoGazette bbslist, email your 
    listing to:
      bbslist @ filegate.net 
    or post it in the fidogazette echo!
