Invitation to Chair the Educational Exercises and Activities Community Group

Educational Exercises and Activities Community Group,

Hello. I would like to cordially invite interested participants to consider becoming candidates for the position of group Chair.

If you are interested in volunteering for this position, please email the group within the next 14 days, introduce yourself, announce your candidacy, and briefly describe your vision for the group. My hope is that a new Chair will have more time, e.g., for periodic video calls, and a described vision with which to reboot the group. This group is 64 strong and there is a tremendous potential for renewed collaboration and innovation.

I propose that we use the following process from https://www.w3.org/community/council/wiki/Chair_selection:

  1.
Participants announce their candidacies. Participants have 14 days to announce their candidacies, but this period ends as soon as all participants have announced their intentions. If there is only one candidate, that person becomes the Chair. If there are two or more candidates, there is a vote. Otherwise, nothing changes.

  2.  Participants vote. Participants have 21 days to vote for a single candidate, but this period ends as soon as all participants have voted. The individual who receives the most votes — no two from the same organization— is elected chair. In case of a tie, RFC2777 is used to break the tie. An elected Chair may appoint co-Chairs.

Best regards,
Adam Sobieski
