I'm surprised you haven't already, unless I am missing something important.  Thanks for giving us notice.

if i we have a another election, i would like to see what a council member did, what her/his positions where and how he/she discuss. and if someone was active at all.

so i agree with kuros post. a better view into the councils work will give the community a better understanding, how much work the council does.
-> is it more then a fancy forum title, potato calling country club?
if this is so: show me!

When we first started Council, I expected every poll to be shown.  However, this was changed because we don't want the folks who don't make the cut to start complaining and asking why we didn't vote for them.  It isn't personal by any means, we just don't want to start drama.

yep, i understand the drama part.
but this can be another council job:
how do you think, to show the community your work you do, without drama.
the council section is actually empty.

but i think, i just have to be more patient (waves to gl1tch^^).

Also, if someone decides to start drama over a decision made by the council then they clearly wouldn't have been a good candidate for the position.  But nevertheless keep up the good work guys

It's empty because our discussion is hidden from the public. Also, if we feel it's necessary to summarize our actions for the community, we will vote on it. But so far, appointing certain staff members don't warrant an explanation as it is more personal preference.

there goes the democracy! smash down the licentious, elitist bureaucrats!
take out your gavels and forks! pick your torches and burn them down!
erm ...do you feel for a vote now?

*end of joke*

i just though it would help you, to get the respect for your work. if you somehow show it.

Have we been formally appointed yet? Or is this thread it?
(Aside from Gl1tch's Bug Hunter Forum Icon, and this thread I have no knowledge of any of the new staff member's positions)

And I personally think it would be appreciated if we could see some of what is going on in the council. As far as we know, you could just be playing eenie meenie with all the candidates  , even though I know such responsible people, who never resort to immature insults when the going gets though.

More transparency to the council, hear hear!

No moderation without representation!

 Moderator Comment Keep it down, peasant!

Unless something changes, this will probably be the thread that announces new positions and all of that jazz.

Although, I wouldn't mind a central hub in the Council section to announce stuff and... stuff.

This is a good idea.  Sort of like a mini Forum News and Announcements section?  I'd appreciate this.  It may not be the full transparency that some community members want, but it would be a simple way to easily keep tabs on everything the council does.  At the moment, it's a bit difficult to keep track of what, exactly, has been accomplished so far -- thus making proper feedback nearly impossible.

I find it highly ironic that someone with the username Gl1tch was appointed Bug Hunter 
Did this cross anyone else's mind?

(And I wouldn't mind mod powers in the GS&F section)

If you do wish to make your suggestion public, this thread is likely better than any.

You are the FG! (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,11967.0.html) is falling apart.  The organizer is MIA and the Round Robin brackets in the opening post haven't been updated in a dog's age.  Please consider replacing the organizer and getting the event back on track.
