UMW CO Voting Thread
It's time.... I will leave this open for approximately 1 week.
I'd like to find two COs who are up for the challenging task of leading UMW. If you would like to nominate someone, please post.
A few things I'd like to add:
*You must own a Honda S2000.
*Region is not a concern. If two people from Indiana are elected CO, so be it... If a need for a CO in a different area arises, we will address it at a later time.
*If there is suspicion of fraud or tampering with the voting, I will immediately suspend the voting. If I find out that there was involvement by the Nominee, they will be immediately removed from the nomination.
Here are the "official requirements". My additions listed below are in addition to those listed below. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

The Community Organizer is something of a social director. They are usually someone who is active in organizing events and get-togethers in the local area. Because of this active participation they are well known to the community and have the confidence of the community.
COs (as we call them) are given special privileges to allow them to steer the dynamics of the group but more importantly their intended role is to organize events and to act as a liaison with S2Ki.com to help with developing our global community. They speak on behalf of the community to get things like badge permissions, have troublesome accounts suspended or removed and promote and advertise larger inter-community events and activities.
COs are responsible for maintaining the content quality standards of their forums in a manner consistent with all other S2Ki.com forums and to encourage participation of their members in the broader s2ki global community. They can do this by moving posts of broader interest such as technical topics to the appropriate main site forums and also by promoting events from outside the community.
Except in times of extreme need, S2Ki.com does not appoint Community Organizers. We want your peers to nominate you and therefore you have become a CO with the help of your local community members. You are the lead person within your organization. You are the one respected by your fellow members. Sometimes things change within an organization and someone steps up to help out or take over. We make those changes by request. If we receive a concern from fellow community members about the CO, we will then step in and help out.
All forum communities must be requested, and we recommend you have a decent number of participants to make the community forum worthwhile.
The role of a Community Organizer is:
* Developing a club "Community"
* Establishing a club name with input
* Maintain the membership list
* Contact potential members you see on the street and online *build the club)
* Develop relations with local sponsors and dealerships
* Take the lead in organizing local or community events
If you are a large community or small, there is nothing written in stone that says you can not have help. A Co-Community Organizer can help with tasks, and event planning. It is better to ask for help than try and do everything yourself and risk burnout in the process. As a CO you should be dedicated to the community and the S2000. You will have a sense of accomplishment by organizing events and having your club membership flourish.

Clearly, it's time to take into consideration the adoption of rules of voting that conform to the norms of the Windy City. The thought of having a fair election were the outcome is not predictable nearly makes me nauseous.
Clearly I had missed something...
