We first have to confirm the WSC, after which, the WSC elects the GMC. So, here is what is going on. I am sending this information to all clan heads in addition to posting it here to ensure maximum exposure. According to the WSC governing rules, long-term reps must be elected before clan reps are confirmed/chosen. Long-term members are described as members who have been around for 2 years or played in at least 20 games or GMd at least 10 games. We are going to elect one rep for every five long-term members. Since trying to figure out exactly who is long-term is a sizeable task, I am asking clan heads to help me address their members and send me a list of two things:
1) Who their long-term members are
2) Which of those members wish to run for the WSC
3) Who their chosen clan rep is for the next year
4) Which GMs in their clan would like to run for the GMC
In the case of a clan rep also being elected as a long-term rep, then the clan head will be contacted again with a request to choose another player. I would like clan heads to get this information to me ASAP, preferrably within the next four days. Once I have info from all clan heads, I am going to send out one massive email to ALL long standing members instructing them on who is running for the rep positions and how to vote on them. When all is said and done, the WSC for next year should be fully elected/appointed in one weeks time, hopefully.
As for the GMC, those elections will be held immediately after we have a full makeup of the WSC, but to keep the clan heads (or myself) from having to do too much work I am asking for those nominations at the same time. Finally at that time, I will also run the elections for the WSC Chair for the following year, who basically gets to maintain the webpage and go through all this rigamorale next June.
Phew! And who said beauracracy wans't fun?
