Dear all, Are you (or do you plan to become) an active contributor to CZ? Then, please, quickly answer two questions for me (offlist!).
These questions will help us to determine how large of a set of "leadership and governance" positions we can plan for. There's no point to planning a lot of initiatives that will each be understaffed. In the following, I don't want your promises (too easily broken) or your wishes (too easily unfulfilled). Rather, I want your hard-nosed, realistic predictions about yourself, preferably based on past experience and consideration of current circumstances. You aren't *committing* yourself to jobs, here, you're expressing your predictions! Of course, I hope your predictions are very positive. :-) I'm trying to quantify how much responsibility we are able to take on, and of what sort. So, SUPPOSE THAT ALL YOUR CZ COMMITMENTS WERE WIPED CLEAN. Imagine you are no longer in any official positions other than author and/or editor (which might actually be the case!). QUESTION 1. If you are willing *and able* to take on several roles in CZ, please indicate how many. Let's say, up to four. These might include Editorial Council member, constable, initiative staffers & leaders, etc. (You'll get a chance to indicate what type of role next.) If your answer to Question 1 is zero, then there's no need to reply to this survey. QUESTION 2. For the following, choose as many of A-D as apply, or else E if none apply. Would you have time and willingness to serve... A. in rank-and-file positions on either the Editorial Council or the Constabulary? These are fairly low time commitments, but they *are* commitments. B. in main *leadership* positions, such as in Editorial Council or Constabulary leadership, on the (to be created) Judicial Board, or the Executive Committee? These would presumably require more time, though not necessarily huge amounts. C. in rank-and-file special-function group positions, such as (JUST for example) a recruitment group, approvals management group, a help-and-simplification group, a fundraising group, etc.? These would not necessarily require a lot of time, but they would require some. D. in special-function *leadership* positions, such as (JUST for example) recruitment chief, fundraising lead, operations reporter, etc.? Doing a good job would require a moderate-to-large amount of time in most cases. Thanks in advance! --Larry _______________________________________________ Citizendium-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/citizendium-l
