[Citizendium-l] New Managing Editor and reduced Council sizes

2012-07-01 Thread Citizendium general project announcement list
The new Managing Editor of Citizendium as of 1st July is Anthony 
Sebastian, M.D., Professor of Medicine at the University of California, 
San Francisco. He takes over for a two-year term from Dr Daniel 
Mietchen, who declined to stand again.


Following the results of the referenda last month, the number of elected 
officers on the Management and Editorial Councils has been reduced as of 
this month. The MC now consists of three members (previously five), and 
the EC comprises five people (reduced from seven).

[Citizendium-l] Less than a week before the election nomination/proposals period closes!

2013-07-21 Thread Citizendium general project announcement list
The period for election nominations and referendum proposals closes at 
midnight UTC on Saturday 27th July. This is also the deadline for people 
to accept their nominations and publish election statements if they wish.


So far, there have been two nominations, both declined, so the field is 
clear for you to nominate any members of the Citizendium community in 
good standing to either the Management or Editorial Councils. You can 
also nominate yourself and accept this self-nomination if one other 
person supports it.


To nominate, go to:

[Citizendium-l] Election update: nominations and referenda

2013-07-23 Thread Citizendium general project announcement list
The period for nominating people to elected positions and to propose 
referenda ends at midnight UTC on 27th July. An update:


1. So far, one nomination (for the Editorial Council) has been accepted 
and others are awaiting responses. You may have been nominated - check 
your Talk page, the Nominations page and your spam folders!



http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Election_July-August_2013/Nominations


To make nominations and to accept or decline yours, visit the page above.


2. As yet, there is no nominee for the post of Ombudsman. This 
nomination must be made by the Councils.



3. There are also three Council-initiated referenda that will appear on 
the ballot. All of these rewrite the Charter and so will require 
two-thirds majorities to pass:

4. There are two Citizen-initiated referenda (i.e. not proposed by the 
Councils) that will appear on the ballot, neither of which modify the 
Charter and so only require simple majorities to pass:

Others may be submitted by 27th July. Only one supporter is required 
(i.e. the proposer).

Editor, as has a revised version (4a). A new version may still be 
submitted. Details:

The period for nominating candidates and proposing new referenda in the

There is one candidate for one seat on the Council, so the election will

indicate 'Yes' or 'No' against the name of the candidate.


There is still time to support or amend existing referendum proposals, 
until later this week when the Council or the Managing Editor, in 
accordance with the Citizendium Charter, directs the Election Committee 
on what will appear on the final ballot. After that, the above page will

[Citizendium-l] I'm happy to report that our recent fund-raising drive was successful!

2017-02-14 Thread Citizendium general project announcement list

All,

My recent request for additional funds was quite successful!  We brought 
in enough extra donations over the last two months to put us over the 
$1,500 average minimum balance that our bank requires to waive the 
monthly service charge.  Last month, January 2017, was the first time in 
several years that the $12.00 service charge was not made.  As I noted 
in my earlier message, even $12 represented more than 10% of our month 
outgo.  So eliminating it is a fairly important step.


I trust that we will now be able to keep our balance above the required 
figure!


Here is a link to the latest report:

Many thanks to all of you who donated!

Hayford Peirce,  Treasurer
