Do we need a host or hosts? If so, let's put it to a vote.

[Behind the Aegis]

Since we don't have a poll feature available yet, we will have to run it in a creative way. So, in tradition of the LGBT group, I will facilitate a "poll" of hosts. If you are interested, please indicate so. I will keep this open for a week, then, we will vote.

Also, the group is still new, so if you can rustle up new business, please do. Like the Jewish group in my sig line, I am going to add the Middle East group. I hope some of you will also consider doing this as it may let others know about the group.

FTR, I am cool with hosting this group. I keep odd hours and I only host three other groups, Ancient Wisdom and Pagan Spirituality, LGBT and the Jewish group. I would like to nominate Douglas Carpenter, Violet Crumble, and JMach1.

So c'mon...nominate/endorse someone (including yourself) and then we will put it to a vote.


As a side note: I don't know we need more than 4-5 hosts (and that may be too many, but sometimes, more is better).

1. All I can say is

I think an odd number makes more sense.

[ellisonz]

2. I nominate dipsydoodle.

[dipsydoodle]

3. Very kind of you

NOT.

Its a reasonably well known fact I don't agree with the hosting system.

[hlthe2b]

4. Yes... I think three (or five) hosts makes sense..

On edit, Behind the Aegis, JCMachI, Violet_Crumble, dipsydoodle, and Douglas Carbenter have been nominated, with BtA as lead.

That would seem like a good slate....

On edit, you might complete the nomination/election process and then let this group draft an SOP, which could then be discussed among the larger group. I always find it easier to react to a "draft" and suspect others might too. Just a thought...

[maddezmom]

5. BtA as lead

and JMach and VioletCrumble are my nominations. And anyone else the three of you all want to add is fine with me.

[JCMach1]

10. My job is actually going to give me some free time from the end of March...

making some major life changes... but they do leave me time.

Time was always the reason I have never done DU moderation over the years.

[Ruby the Liberal]

6. BtA for lead

and trust your judgement on however many others as I am less familiar.

[dixiegrrrrl]

7. I'll have whatever Ruby is ..thinking.

add my vote to hers, pls.

[Ruby the Liberal]

9. *snicker*

[azurnoir]

12. well yes and Violet should be co-host wouldn't you agree?

she pmed me a month or so ago about the posssible creation of this group and she mentioned that she had been talking to BtA about it

[Ruby the Liberal]

13. I'm fine with whoever the main host chooses.

[Violet_Crumble]

17. My understanding is the main host won't be the one choosing. Cohosts will be elected...

At least that's how I read what BtA was saying...

[ellisonz]

8. Yes.

At this point I'm going to nominate Behind the Aegis. I am willing to co-host if requested, although I don't anticipate all that many problems in this forum.

[JCMach1]

11. I think co-hosts are a good idea...

[Violet_Crumble]

14. My nominations...

You as lead host, and Douglas Carpenter and JMach1 as cohosts. I'm happy to be a cohost if I'm needed, btw

[Douglas Carpenter]

18. thank you. I would second the nomination of bta for lead host and would be willing to assist in

cohosting if need be and also agree that Jmach1 and yourself would make for good cohosts.

[azurnoir]

15. actually Douglas Carpenter would be a marvelous chioce if he's willing

there are a couple of others I can think of albeit they have not posted in a while

[ProgressiveProfessor]

16. I support BTA

And would be willing to be a cohost if needed
