Finalizing Nominations¶
Election Logistics¶
- Simple Majority : GM discretion
- Njha's idea: eliminate all committees except decal
- resounding hell no
- Dpark: 3 decal heads
- lessen workload of individual heads
- 1 head can manage, rest add to content
- trinityc: having more heads doesn't solve issue
- responsibility of head becomes diluted
- if goal is more content, do that!
- more heads doesnt fix issue
- yehchan: more heads = more arguments
- heads cant come together to do stuff
- decal starts demanding, less load at end
- 2 heads will be fine
- Bod disapproved
- Jaysa: merge internal & external?
- aditya: yeah
- external is internal with alums
- similar functions
