[NABS-L] board position 4

[Littlefield, Tyler]

Why is this being proposed as an issue now rather than Days ago when the 
initial philosophy was set up and explained? This is, to my 
understanding a single year term. If the board handles a google form in 
the way that they previously handle voting:
1) This would require that each time a member is removed were there more 
than one, a new google form provided.
2) If you provide everyone a time period, what do you do if 50% of the 
membership forgets to vote or doesn't see a notification and the numbers 
are all wrong?
3) This feels like it turns the voting process into nothing more than 
"call your friend and tell them to vote for x" and that's less palatable 
than simply allowing the president to appoint a member.

I specifically would appreciate it if we could see less accusatory 
demands and more discussion around a solution that might work. Simply 
stating that this should be ran a specific way is much easier than 
thinking of a way for the board to make this happen.

> Hello, I hope everyone is enjoying convention. I've had a number of people talking on facebook and to me directly that we don't approve of the handling of the voting of board position 4. There has been significant discussion of this topic and I think that the discussion should  be opened to all NABS members. I think it only fair that everyone who ran for other board positions, and were not elected, should be allowed to run again for said position. Further, any dues paying member should be able to vote for the student they believe the best to serve in this role. I propose that a second google form be created for this purpose. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the general convention would run perhaps by raising hands in zoom or something similar to fill all positions....I think we will find out soon enough if my thought process is correct. Thus, in fairness to all involved, I would like to suggest that position 4 be elected by google forms or other fair form of voting. I would love everyone's input. Thanks all for your consideration.
