You have my sympathy & support in this. However, this is his sandpit & he makes the rules.

Cheers,

Paul's ballot not being counted made absolutely no difference in the outcome
of the election. However, if an exception were made for him, it would have
to be made for all.

I sent netmail to every RC in FidoNet at the beginning of the voting period, with reminders to those who had not voted on 28 February and again
yesterday. Echomail normally does not take too long to reach its
destination, but a delay of a few hours is common.

The FTSC will be looking at the election rules in the FTSC charter to streamline the process; if you have any input please post it here or netmail me.

Regards,

Andrew

Some simple 'natural justice' may need to be considered in future. Nothing complicated.

What, specifically, did you find wrong with the process as carried
out this time? Multiple notices were given out WEEKS in advance
of the deadline. What else needed to be done?

You don't think there needs to be a deadline for submission of
votes? How else can an election be conducted?

Check the echo again. R57C's vote was sent at his post "3:770/100 a31c39a2 dated Sun, 3 Mar 2019 21:28:23 +1300" (unfortunately addressed to 'All'). I.e. in plenty of time to arrive before the deadline. It was ignored by the Election Coordinator.

So, R57C corrected himself with the later post with the proper addressee which was deemed too late to be accepted. Where is the justice in that?

Cheers,
Paul.

Yes, OK, I see that now. The only response there is to that is
that the vote was not cast properly (the addressing).

This "re-vote" was indeed (not "deemed") cast too late as per the
published deadline. I agree that it's kind of a bad deal, but...

The good news is that the vote in question would not have changed
the outcome in any way.

Thanks for pointing out that the original vote (although not
meeting the requested criteria) was submitted on time. I had
missed that, and apologize if I came across a little harshly.
Didn't mean to do that, just didn't realize the full story here.

Cheers,
Paul.

Cheers!

No bark lost, mate. The sandpit remains...
