17th Elements Council

Another six nine months have passed and it's time to renew the Elements Council. January April, the last month of the current Council term, 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 you 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. Requirements
All community members who meet the following requirements are free to submit an application to become a Council member:

1. Joined the forum no less than 3 months ago.
2. Full Member (200+ posts).
3. Reliability and maturity are essential.


2. How to Apply
To become a candidate, please:

• Send a PM to me titled "Council Application" with the content of your application.
• Ensure that you have put some effort into your application (the current council is more than willing to lend a hand if you need it)

In your application you may wish to include the following:

• Any evidence of commitment to and activity in the community.
• Your motivation to be in the Elements Council.
• Any relevant experience you have.
• Any ideas that you wish to implement.

Bear in mind that while you want to write enough to cover everything, there may be a high volume of applications so you may wish to keep it short and sweet so voters don't skim what you've written.

Current Council members may apply.


3. Forming the Elements Council
Just like we did six nine months ago for the current Council, the 17th Council will be elected using an Instant-runoff voting system (all community members will be able to vote, as usual). We're looking for 4 people with whom form the next Council. Administrators will be part of the next Council by default.


4. Future of the Council
The 17th Council will hold office for 4 months. The term should begin from February April and should last until the end of July August.

To submit your application you have no more time. Thanks and good luck to everyone who applied!
