LOTW votes to update Administration Handbook

Resolution #35

LOTW voted that we update the Administration Handbook, essentially because there are a couple of things that could do with being added (like the job description for the OOC Lounge Moderators and how that department works). The Handbook itself can be found linked from the MOTD here in Parliament.

The vote results are as follows:

For: 44
Against: 1
Abstain: 7

The Resolution has therefore passed!

The total turnout percent was 67.5% (56 out of some 83 members), a significant increase on the 60.27% of our last election (44 voters out of 73 members)!

It may also be worth mentioning that within four days of voting, we had ten of our fourteen sims at over 50% turn-out, and four at over 70%. About half a week later we had our first sim reach 100% turn-out. By the close of voting, some sims had soared up the 'turn-out league', and we had two at 100%, eight at over 75%, and all our sims had reached at least 50% turn-out.

Something Election Coordinator Robert Longtin said during the campaign to publicise the vote really spoke to me. He shared with the COs the turn-out percentages and called it their "personal contribution". I'm so moved by this, it is so true. Our turning out to vote on issues that direct our club is our personal contribution to the growth and success of this awesome community.

It's my pleasure to serve you. The best is still ahead.
