STARFLEET 2010 Election List

admin — Mon, 31 May 2010 16:51:00 +0000

Fellow members of STARFLEET:

As mandated by our Constitution, we will be starting the process to elect our next Commander, STARFLEET in just a couple more weeks. Over the years, one of the key vehicles for communications with the candidates and general discussion of the election has been, and continues to be, the Official Election List. This list will be, as always, for questions and answers among the candidates and members of STARFLEET. Discussion of the election on there is also permitted.

I am pleased to announce that the 2010 Election list will open up for subscriptions starting on May 17th. The list will be in sign up mode ONLY from May 17th to June 1st. The list will open for full use on June 1st. No posts of any kind will be allowed on the list until that date.

To sign up for the election list, please visit the website below:

http://lists.sfi.org/listinfo.cgi/election2010-sfi.org

I have been assigned the task of being the Moderator and one of the three list administrators. The other two administrators are Chief of Communications Jonathan Lane and STARFLEET Inspector General Wade Hoover.

The list will be operated in a family friendly format. Here are a few basic things to keep in mind.

As the list will be family friendly, please keep the language clean with that in mind.
The list is restricted to election business only. Any other topics will be requested to move elsewhere.
In the case of behavior which requires action by the moderator the following will be followed:
a. In the first instance, a warning will be sent privately to the offender and cc’ed to the other two list administrators
b. In the second instance, the offender will be placed in moderated mode for two weeks, allowing them to observe the list, but all posts from the person during that time will require approval to be released to the membership.
c. In the event of a third instance, the offender will be placed on moderated mode and will remain in that mode till it can be proven that he or she will follow the list rules.
Any moderator decision can be appealed to all the administrators. The decision of the administrators will be final.
Only members of STARFLEET in good standing will be allowed to be subscribed to and post to the list. Non STARFLEET members will be removed.
There will be no discussion of list operations on the list proper. All communications of that type must be sent to the list administrators privately.

A complete list of rules will be posted on June 1st and e-mailed out on the first of every month for the length of the operation of the list.

Thanks!

VOLUNTEER NEEDED – Star Trek Online Advisory Council

pirategent — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 15:39:31 +0000

Atari and Cryptic Studios are forming an informal group of Star Trek and gaming fans to provide input on the development of STO., and they’ve asked STARFLEET to provide at least one volunteer to sit on the Council.

“THE STAR TREK ONLINE ADVISORY COUNCIL is an informal group of Star Trek and gaming fans who have been tapped to provide input on the development of STO. Based on Earth in the Sol System, the Council will also become ambassadors for their readers, viewers and followers who want to provide suggestions and tips on how STAR TREK ONLINE’s 25th Century storyline might further evolve.”

They’ve asked STARFLEET to provide at least one volunteer to sit on the Council. This member needs to have the following qualifications:

1) Be a member of STARFLEET who will be sticking around for a while. (If the member leaves STARFLEET, chances are that person will need to be replaced on the Council.)

2) Be an active player in the Star Trek Online game. (This would seem pretty obvious.)

3) Respect the fact that Star Trek is a business and Atari is a CBS licensee. (While I am certain that the atmosphere of this Council will be friendly and fun, this is also a very serious business endeavor. Star Trek Online cost millions of dollars to develop and market. The ideas for improving, evolving, and promoting the game that the council comes up with must work in the real world. Not all ideas will hit the mark or even be tried…so check you ego at the door if you volunteer.)

Anyone wanting to volunteer for the position as STARFLEET’s representative on this Advisory Council must be mature and professional.

No tantrums. No ultimatums. No threatening to leave if you don’t get your way. This is a serious position with some amazing opportunities both for the volunteer and for STARFLEET itself. The volunteer who is chosen must behave professionally, be prepared to participate responsibly, and report monthly to the EC.

If you would like to volunteer, e-mail me at comms@sfi.org. Include your name, chapter, SCC number, and a short paragraph or two explaining why you believe yourself to be qualified for the position. I will also be contacting COs/XOs to ask them about members who volunteer. So with your application, please include the name and e-mail address of your CO or XO (or if you are a CO, then your RC…and if you’re an RC, then I’ll just ask Sal and Dave about you). Tell them to expect an e-mail from me…a non-response will not kill your chances, but it won’t help. So let your CO/XO know to e-mail me back as soon as they can.

The Council is being created soon. So I am setting the deadline for applications as April 30. No applications after that date will be considered.

My sincere thanks in advance to everyone who applies for this position. I’ll make the announcement to the lists as soon as a volunteer is selected.
