Proposal Type: Bylaw Revision

Opened: 21-Apr-2014 12:00AM EDT

Closing: 28-Apr-2014 12:00AM EDT

I, Chris Haffly, CM of Columbus in Darkness, propose the following Bylaw Change to Administrative Bylaw 4.

4.D Election Procedures
1. Elections, while public, will only show which game has voted, not who they have voted for until after the voting period.
2. Comments from voting chronicles will also be disabled at the time to ensure anonymity for election votes only.

The purpose of this proposed change is to prevent electioneering, poor comments on the OWbN site, and the trend to vote for whomever is winning when some games vote after others.

It is also up to the CM/ST of the game to share with their players which coordinator they voted for, not the while of OWbN the second elections go up and games vote.

The web team has stated this is possible.

This proposal has the support of the Tremere and Gangrel Coordinators.

Chronicle/Position	Voted for	Comment
Dubuque, IA - USA, Kingdom of Ashes	For
New York City, NY - USA, Kings of New York	Against
Los Angeles, CA - USA, La Sangre De Los Angeles	Abstain
Campinas, SP - Brazil, Império das Cinzas	Against	In Brazil we have serious problems with corruption because of secret votes in the parliament. I really belive that anonymity, even until after the voting period, can be harmful for this council.

Detroit, MI - USA, Motor City Monsters	Abstain
La Crosse, WI - USA, The Rivers Edge	For
Iowa City, IA - USA, Fields of Rage	For
Buffalo, NY - USA, Frozen Queen	Against	This prop implies that council members are incapable of delivering the will of their chronicles without handholding, while simultaneously making them unaccountable for their actions until after(if?) the vote is made public.

Worcester County, MA - USA, Quabbin	Abstain
Hartford, CT - USA, Dark Colony	Against	This removes the Check and Balance of knowing a CM has done their job for their game.
Baltimore, MD - USA, Dark Harbor	For
Head Coord	For	If there is a lack of trust that a CM will vote for the will of the players, then the chronicle should take a hard look at whether that person should be a CM. If a CM DOES vote contrary to the will of their game, I would hope their local chronicle takes harsh disciplinary action (chronicle strike/ban) plus pushes for org-wide disciplinary action.
