** | ** CHAN: This seems fraught, and susceptible to nepotism. e.g. Two members not-in-good-standing contest a seat, one of them is friends with the board. At that point, and even at the AGM, the Board could allow one to run and deny the other without any consistent selection criteria. Requiring an arbitrary super-majority doesn't make the process itself any less arbitrary. From the eyes of a member, the Board could be denying me the chance to vote for someone while manipulating the rules to let some other normally-ineligible person run. I think it's generally cleaner and clearer to just let the election run with members-in-good-standing, and then outright appoint people to fill remaining vacant seats, rather than complicating the rules for election-time. | ||

** CHAN: Which ones? Mechanics are volunteers wherever possible. Everything's calculated to at least make some money, and although many of the $50-$90 items aren't as profitable as the <$50 and >=$100 items, they tend to be fairly effective vehicles for promoting cycling in the city (e.g. one-on-one courses are a prime way to convert new volunteers, and I feel like flooding the streets with MonkeyLectric lights is going to have a really fascinating effect on cycling culture in Edmonton). | |||
