[Bob Marsh]

Nicole has wasted enough of my time (and all of yours as well, I'm sure) so
I'm giving her a coveted spot on my "delete immediately" email list...
poof! gone.

cheers,
Bob

>> 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
