So, you know, go website being updated.

The candidates all have to sign and return a written form, which was sent out yesterday. Until that happens it's quite reasonable for US Fencing not to send out the official notification.

Due date for those agreements to be returned is Jan. 5th (mine's already been faxed, with the original sitting in a mailbox for pick-up).

In addition to Greg and I, who both post here, at least a couple of the other nominated candidates lurk. I don't know how actively.

I have received the report of the Nominating Committee from the USFA Secretary. I'll post an electronic copy here so that everyone can read it and spare Linda the trouble, distraction and expense of sending it to anyone interested.

I wasn't able to get it to upload on fencing.net so I had to put it on some personal space.

Uh, no. Kalle is not the referee--that's her daughter Sarah.

Kalle has, however, been chair of the tournament committee for at least a couple of quads, and definitely knows tournaments inside and out.

(She's another of us parent-of-fencers types who end up still in fencing after our kids are on their own.)

BIG file for 6 pages of text (~10mb). At how many dpi did you scan it? And why? :)

Thanks for posting it.

On the off chance that Kalle, once elected, has to interact with Swedish fencers she might be advised that "Kalle" is a name in Swedish also, but a male one. Might cause consternation.


Happy New Year!

Kalle has enough name complications without dragging Swedish into it.

oiuyt - I'll see if I can shrink it some.

... and that contains even less useful information than the fencers for change website.

Just out of curiosity what are the alternatives to "process driven" governance?

I predict a low turnout followed by cynical complaints that the membership is indifferent.

Object-oriented? Functional? Logic?

Duh. Actually, I suspect that if there is an election, the turnout will be high in comparison.

That is because the nominating committee's report is not a piece of campaign literature. It is a report detailing the actions of the nominating committee, and why we felt that the people that they nominated are appropriate for the positions that they were put forward, without excess space. In fact, we were criticized for the length of the document by some people!

And as an example, alternatives to process-driven governance would be governance/leadership that relies on personal charisma, a leadership style based on coercion and favor trading, a leadership style based upon Nepotism/Cronyism, or a leadership style based upon shouting down everyone else at meetings. As a member of the nominating committee, I'm fairly certain that the nominees we chose are committed to figuring out the best ways for the Association to proceed - not the ways to proceed that best benefit their specific interests. Nor are they likely to function utilizing the methods detailed above. The same could not be said of all of the candidates we interviewed and considered.

Dumb Question.....

...who gets to vote? Any member 18 and over as of the election date? Do members by virtue of the USFA Family Membership program get to vote as well?
