Now that we’ve revised the THATCamp Council Charter and have worked out the election process, I want to encourage everyone who thinks they might be eligible, able, and willing to run for the THATCamp Council to do so. In the last ten days or so I’ve been calling for candidates on the THATCamp organizers email list, and we do already have several excellent candidates for the 4 开席, but I’m well aware that not everyone who has helped organize a THATCamp is on that list. If you haven’t been following the THATCamp Council Charter revision process, here are the answers to some questions you might have about the Council.
Who is eligible to run for the THATCamp Council?
任何人谁帮助组织一个THATCamp将有资格担任安理会成员.

How do I run for the Council?
写 by Monday, 3/17 indicating that you’d like to run. Include a few lines about why you want to run for the THATCamp Council, perhaps also addressing why you think THATCamp is important and/or directions you’d like to see THATCamp go.
When will the election take place?
I’d like to open the week-long voting period by the end of the day on Monday, 3/17. I’ll post your reasons for running that day along with a link to your THATCamp profile, available from our People page at thatcamp.org/people. The election process is described more fully in the THATCamp Council Charter.
请 see the THATCamp Council Charter if you have more questions, or of course write me (THATCamp委员会主席 普罗特姆) 在 .
Might be worth noting under the “How long is the term” section that, according to the charter, one person in addition to me, 阿曼达, and Tom will be asked to serve a 1 year term. So if people are hesitant about a 2 year commitment, for this first go-round one additional person will only be there for 1 年. To my knowledge, how we choose that one additional person will be figured out at the first meeting among us. 从而, and 1-year volunteers might make the Council’s first decision easier!
