[Gpca-votes] Fwd: [gpca-cc] SGA Vote Administrator procedures

[Sadie Fulton]

The attached email is evidence of the new SGA administrators reaching out
to the outgoing ones, requesting access and training. This is direct
evidence against Nicole's claim that outreach was made in the other
direction and refused.
No response was ever received for this email. If the claim that Tim and
Mike were willing to train the new SGA administrators back in September
when the request was made is to hold any water henceforth, let's see your
evidence.

*[This list of questions is going especially to long-time SGA Vote
Administrators Mike Feinstein and Tim Laidman; to all CC members; and to
Brian Good, a newly elected admin who is not on the CC.] *

Hello all —

Now that we have a roster of 5 new SGA Vote Administrators (Victoria
Ashley, Brian Good, Laura Wells), and 2 alternates (Eric Brooks and Mike
Goldbeck), we need to get trained and up-to-speed.

Please reply with whatever help you can provide.

Here is a starter list of questions that will allow us to create
procedures, a process for gaining access to the system, and training needed
by the incoming SGA Vote Administrators. The last question applies to
almost all of the others: who performs each of the tasks now, and who can
provide the new admins with access to each of the processes?

(1) How is the list of SGA delegates updated?
http://sga.cagreens.org/vote/contacts?cid=13

(2) How are SGA delegates added to the SGA email list,
gpca-votes at cagreens.org (or gpca-votes at lists.cagreens.org)?

(3) How are SGA delegates added to the SGA voting pages/voting system?

(4) How do proposal pages get published on the website?

(5) How do candidate lists get published on the website? How do candidate
applications/bios get published and updated?

(6) How are the SGA announcements set up? Announcements include the
beginning of the discussion and voting periods, the upcoming end of the
voting period, and the ending of the voting period.

(7) How are the results announced for yes/no votes and for ranked choice
votes?

(8) Who does each of the above, and who can provide the new admins with
access to each of the above?

(9) What else should be included on this list of questions?

NOTE that in researching the GP-US voting system, it appears that “Vote
Administrators” are called “Floor Managers” and the job rotates among the
Steering Committee members, with some duties performed by the Secretary of
the Steering Committee. The system was described as a process of filling
out (“plugging in”) the software forms online: checking boxes for kind of
vote, discussion period, listing candidates; and pasting in proposals,
background, resources required, references. It’s possible that the CA
system, which apparently was originally based on the same system as the
national, may have become more complicated over the years, but still
do-able by people who are not necessarily highly technical.

Thank you all.
Laura Wells
CC member and one of the newly-elected SGA Vote Administrators
