        As many other NCs are choosing to do:<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Should the Governance Committee recommend to the full WHWCNC board that they pass a motion by a simple majority to opt out of City Clerk administered Vote by Mail only Elections this election cycle and instead opt to run its own local Selection Process for the public [eligible qualifying Stakeholders] to vote in person at a town hall style event for the candidates they would like to fill the even area and At-large seats and represent them on the NC for the next term of office?<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        To prepare for this discussion, Governance committee members should familiarize themselves with the details of Selection Process whereby NCs take charge of their own election process for the public choosing their NC representatives, as the WHWCNC did for the first ten years of our existence, independently and in collaboration with the other South Valley NCs before the City Clerk starting running NC elections. To do this, review the support docs on the selection process from DONE, the City Clerk and the linked presentation from Glenn Bailey at the November LANCC meeting.<\/p>\n

        Motion to approve additional board authorized filers of CIS on the City Clerk CIS Portal.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Currently the board has only one CIS filer; Heath Kline. The City Clerk allows up 5 CIS filers per NC Board. Heath Kline is requesting the board appoint additional filers to share the workload and speed the timeliness of filings.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Jayce Baron’s committee has submitted a CIS for board\u00a0passage\u00a0and plans on doing more and has expressed interest in\u00a0becoming a board filer.<\/p>\n
