9th Elements CouncilAfter almost 5 months of hard work, we're going to renew the Elements Council. January, the last month of the term of the current Council, will be used to receive applications and to vote for the members of the next council.
So since it's been quite long, let's remind what the council has to do, at the minimum:
1. Appoint new staff members.
2. Come up with ways to improve our community.
3. Attempt to put these projects into action, preferably as a group.
4. Support Administrators.
This should go without saying, but please remember activity is pretty much a must, and honestly, if you're there to talk to people and everything else it just makes letting people know what the council is doing and what they can expect much easier.
1. RequirementsAll community members who meet the following requirements are free to submit an application to become a Council member:
1. Joined the forums no less than 3 months ago.
2. Full Member (200+ posts).
2. How to ApplyTo become a candidate, please
send a PM to me with your application. Be sure to read
What the Council looks for in applications if you haven't done so recently. Current Council members may apply.
3. Forming the Elements CouncilFollowing a request from an Administrator, we decided to use a new system to elect the next Council members. The 9th Council will be elected using an
Instant-runoff voting system (all community members will be able to vote, as usual). We're looking for
8 people with whom form the next Council. Administrators will be part of the next Council by default.
4. Future of the CouncilThe 9th Council will hold office for
6 months. The term should begin from February and should last until the end of July.
To submit your application you have no more time. Thanks to everyone who applied!
