Cohousing-L Mailing List: Elections

[Lynn Nadeau (welcome]

When we needed to come up with a 5 person Steering Committee, and wanted 
not-just-anybody, but some balance and reliability, we agreed on a 
several-person Nominating Committee, as a sort of Task Force. They 
circulated two questions to the membership: Who would you like to see on 
the Steering Committee? and If asked, would you be willing to serve?

>From the results, they noted, in committee,  who was willing to serve, 
then noted which of those had popular support. As a result, they proposed 
a slate, which was easily accepted by the membership, by consensus. Maybe 
we just lucked out, but it worked out nicely.
