These new people will be selected through a voting process. We'll accept nominations, and select up to 10 appropriate members (warn history, and membership length for example) for each position for the primaries. Members vote in the primaries, and the final three for each position campaign as finalists on BTS.
Elected Council People appoint two assistants, and all are admitted to a new private forum where they can begin to organize and plan. Council people also will have new capabilities on ATS (such as warns, for example) and they and their staff can communicate with new members (before the 20 post ceiling for full U2U functionality).

Deliberately taking the attention of our best minds and most open thinkers, regardless of how little the attention might be, is not something I think we should be aiming for.

The form to nominate ONE ATS member for each position is up and running. Please make sure you only enter a member name in the field provided, and that it's correctly spelled.

You can nominate yourselves.
You can repeat the same name more than once.
However, final candidates will not appear in more than one position.
Wow - Quite an interesting development....The ATS Senate
