You know that's only supposed to go to chapter presidents, right? Not all reps are also presidents and not everyone on the channel is president. You might want to remove the files.

Yes, just realized lol.  Forgot that BoD is public

Ballot sent.

 

Please note: According to the received email message, the ballot was also sent to Jacalyn, who is not an ICG chapter president.

 

The LAA ballot should NOT be posted on the ICG Website. That information should remain private. "Standing Rule 21 (D). The ICG President shall prepare a secret ballot of proposed candidates and No Award and send it to all chapter presidents and ICG officers. The voting deadline shall be 30 days in advance of the annual meeting. A majority of votes shall determine the winner. The results shall be kept secret until the award is presented."

 

This says nothing about publishing the LAA ballot on the website. Please ensure that the ballot is not posted there.

 

Thank you for your time.

Betsy, I already talked to Mera about how we don’t post the LAA candidate package to the website. This has been taken care of already. It is not being posted to the website because I know how this works.

Thank you for confirming. I only have the email to go on, otherwise.

Jacalyn, thanks for stepping up and fixing that! I'm just catching up online after a week working at CES for IBM

I mean there wasn’t anything to fix. She texted me that she sent me the ballot and I texted her back.  Took like 2.5 seconds of my life. There was really zero reason to panic just because something got sent to my email. Especially not something sent to MY email. Everyone already knows that it’s gonna languish in dust bunnies. If it’s not a discount code for a computer to my school email, I’m not looking at it. Lol

Yep.  I made a mistake.  Apologies.  I’ll be in my bunk.

@Mera Rose eh it’s a way to stir up manufactured drama. Just ignore it. I’ve spent three weeks out of this slack team because it was all my over 1k member slack team putting on an event that had a population of about 25k people and somehow there was no drama and only functionality. It was lovely. People make mistakes. Is what it is. We had handled this and didn’t see a need to get the entire board/membership involved, but whatever others wanna do. I’m getting back to the next event on my plate because I have 36 hours until I leave. January and February are my event heavy months. 

You don’t have anything to apologize for.

Thanks Lady.  Truly.

I meant my thanks, too. It's working together that we get the good things done. I had an executive assistant when I was Worldcon chair whose job was in large part to make sure mistakes got caught before anything untoward happened. I appreciate your diligence!
