Dear Council,

Clarifications required:

Nominees may withdraw their nomination up to three (3) days after the end of the nomination period.
Withdraws shall be considered retro-active, and shall trigger any appropriate actions needed to
continue the election cycle, including extension of the nomination period or changes to the number of
seats to be chosen during an election.

This means that if there are 4 candidates and 1 withdraws, then an extension of the nomination period has to be granted as 3 is the minimum number of seats that need to be finalised right with a minimum of 4 candidates standing?

So let's say after nomination period is extended, 1 candidate nominates him/herself and then we have 4 candidates. If any candidate withdraws within 3 days of the end of the extended nomination period, then what? Another extension?

Can we have a clause here that after 1 extension is granted, there will be no further extensions and the previous BoD carries on for another 3 months? Elections are hence held after 3 months?



Withdraws done after three (3) days past the end of the
nomination period shall be considered invalid, and elections will continue with the listed nominee on
the ballot. In the event that a late-withdrawing nominee is elected, the withdraw shall be treated as
written consent of the Director to immediately and voluntarily vacate the position.
So if the late-withdrawal is considered as having consented not to take a position in the BoD and he is one of the 3 to have been elected then new elections are called? Can we instead simply state that the candidate who lost out to this late-withdrawal is instead given a seat in the BoD?


P.S. Everything else seems fine IMO
