[rab] Agreed, as long as we don't make things needlessly bureaucratic.

OK then, so I suggest the usual: each candidate will need the backing of twenty (20) signatures. In the event of more than one nomination, we'll need to instigate an election process. Obviously, the most sensible way to do this is a two-round procedure, where we use a single-transferrable vote to whittle down to two candidates, and a second round to decide the final victor. We will of course need to do this for each committee post, but it's a pretty straightforward procedure, so won't be much hassle to implement.

[rab] You start :o)

[pen] No can do - as maintainer of this site, it would open up a massive conflict of interest and leave me open to prosecution by the EU, probably.

*Resolves not to post anything stupid in future*

[Korks] Please do. Post, that is. Not 'not post'.
:):)

[UK] I've made that resolution about once a week since debuting on the morniverse. Hasn't worked yet.

(INJ) Still doesn't work, does it. :-) Debuting??? Go on; it's a wind-up.

[Rosie] It's a tricky one, isn't it? It ought to be OK as a word, but I'm unhappy with all ways of pronouncing it.

I see what you've done there. Avoid 'debuting' at all costs. You can only 'make a debut'.

(INJ, pen) - I think I'd prefer deb-yewing with the accent on the first syllable. It'll turn up on Five Live now you've let it out of the bag.
