*Subject:* Re: Formalizing Approach to Uncontested or Unfilled Election Roles
Hi Lane, Thank you for raising this important point. I agree that it’s prudent to formalize how we handle situations where roles remain uncontested or unfilled. While allowing positions to remain vacant ensures that we don’t force unsuitable or unwilling candidates into roles, it can also impact continuity and operational effectiveness if key positions stay empty for extended periods. Here are a few thoughts to consider: 1. *Interim Appointments:* Would it be possible to allow for interim appointments (perhaps by the current leadership or a designated committee) for critical roles until a suitable candidate can be found or another election cycle is held? 2. *Recruitment Support:* Could we introduce a proactive candidate outreach or mentorship process to encourage participation, especially in roles that tend to attract fewer candidates? 3. *Transparent Communication:* If a role remains unfilled, it may be useful to formally notify the community with an explanation and, if relevant, a plan for redistributing responsibilities or revisiting the role’s structure. 4. *Documenting Precedence:* Since we've already adopted this approach informally, clearly documenting it in our charter or election guidelines would definitely help set expectations and reduce ambiguity. I’d be happy to contribute to drafting or reviewing language for this policy if helpful. Looking forward to hearing others’ perspectives as well.
