[SLUG] Nominations page (Re: Nominations hotting up)

I felt that although the under 18's thing had been resolved there might be other reasons but I guess we can always add it again later. There's been no nominations anyway.

I can certainly think of reasons why the committee might want to have either a non-elected person around: perhaps that person is around for one event and doesn't want to be on committee for the whole year. But in that case, it's fine to just appoint them as head of a sub-committee or something. And there's no reason that other people can't attend committee meetings when invited by the committee. I just don't see any reason to have it decided at election time. -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
