[Reading-hall-of-fame] Re: Election of New Members to RHF: Second Ballot

Those are the questions I had, Bill. Which is why I asked the questions and
proposed the examples I did.

My preference would be to be very specific about how we cast our votes in
order to ensure that the policy is faithfully implemented.

I think the implicit rule is something like this:  we can vote for up to
three in the US category and up to 2 in the non US category. This principle
holds for both the preliminary and final round of voting.

Of course that does not address the dilemma raised by the emails of both
Rob and Jan.  Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. I like Jan’s idea
of an email discussion to get all the voices in the conversation.

 My recollection of the discussion we had, was that RHF needed to become
more international. I remember pointing out that I knew people in
Australia, NZ and UK who might be worthy of being inducted. But these
people may not be known widely in US so therefore not nominated. That’s why
we decided on ‘two international’. Once there are more international
members, then there is a stronger base for identifying people in other
parts of the world. Therefore it may be time to revisit the nominating
process and not have a specific number of international nominations.

As I’m not likely to attend any more meetings, I would like us to have such
a discussion via email.

Hi
I suspect our approach is intended to internationalise the RHOF, but it
also appears to position us as a US membership with some international
member slots.

two of whom will be non-U.S. nationals with permanent residence outside
of the United States. Non-U. S. nationals nominated are designated with **
on the ballot and the list of bios.

2.  Please send me your votes by the end of the day, Friday, October 27.
Please do not send your votes to the list serve but* email me directly at
