nominations are now open for the following positions:
Management Council (5 seats);
Editorial Council (7 seats);
Managing Editor (one); and
Ombudsman (one).

The ballot shall be available October 13, 2010.
The election shall be completed no later than October 21, 2010, 28 days
after the effective date of the Charter.
All elected officials shall begin their term of office on October 23, 2010.
"Only candidates who accept their nomination shall be eligible to appear on
the ballot. Nominated candidates can accept nominations for no more than two
official functions. Accepting a nomination serves as a declaration of
commitment, in the case of being elected, to fulfill this function until the
limit of the term."
"All positions shall be elected by a simple majority of the voting
citizenry. In the case of a tie, an immediate run-off election shall be
held.
In the event that a candidate has been elected for two functions, the
candidate shall declare which one he or she accepts within three days of
announcement of the election results. In the event that such a declaration
has not been made during this period, the candidate shall be considered
elected for the position for which the nomination was accepted first. The
same procedure applies to a reserve member that becomes elected by a seat
being vacated this way."
