Bob Miller Point of Order... The opportunity should have been provided to discuss the motion once the motion was seconded.

The floor/forum will be open to nominations until 0600 Mountain time 13 April in order for everyone to have a chance to provide their input. Should you not care to make a nomination please post that to the forum. Should nominations, seconds and posts be received from all addressees prior to 0600 Mountain I will move the process to the next level prior to 0600. During the next phase I will list the nominees in a seperate thread probably a voting tab and continue the process.

04-12-2011 11:05 Ken Bradley Nominated Sven Schwalbe for President
“He is very active within the group and most members throught the chapter know and recognize him.”
04-12-2011 12:17 Joe Nieves Nominated Jason Wade for President
“Outstanding man, with deep ties within the forum and the comunity. I believe Jason will do a great job if he accepts my nomination. I'm blessed to have a great group of individuals to call friends and know that all are more than capable to fill the position, but for this first very important term, our President should be a permanent resident of our comunity.”
04-12-2011 20:42 Chrystie Garcia Nominated Jeff Brazzle for President
“Without his guidance and motivation, we might not have ever gotten the non-profit organization off and running as quickly as we did. He will be a strong backbone to the organization, he is a positive motivator, and has a sense of the greater purpose and a drive to help us achieve our goals while maintaining structure and organization within the group.”
04-13-2011 11:33 Matt Burns Seconds the nomination for Jeff Brazzle
” He did so much and put so many hours into it as I'm sure most of you did as well. I'd also like to point out that If he doesn't go to Leaonard Wood then he will be staying in the area and/or be returning to the area and I'm sure will dedicate himself to the chapter more than some of us wish they could because of work scheduling or.”
04-13-2011 18:06 Sven Schwalbe Declined the nomination by Ken Bradley. He nominated Jeff Brazzle for President.
“I feel that he has put in the most amount of work to get all of this off the ground, and as such, is deserving of the Presidency.”
04-13-2011 20:22 Jason Wade Thanked Joey Nieves for the nomination. Nominated Jeff Brazzle for President.
“He has spent much of his personal time organizing this and should have the pleasure of serving as the chapter's first prez.”
04-13-2011 22:10 Tim Kuster Nominated Jeff Brazzle for President.
“I am with chrystie, matt and sven and think Jeff Brazzle should be Pres.”
04-14-2011 06:35 Bob Miller Posted Discussion Phase; Nominations for the Office of Chapter President
“This is how the nominations stack up as of 0549 Mountain Time on 14 April 2011.
Ken nominated Sven;
Chrystie nominated Jeff,
Sven declined the nomination by Ken and endorsed Chrystie’s nomination of Jeff;
Joey nominated Jason; Jason thanked Joey and endorsed Jeff.
Tim endorsed Jeff.
I have not seen a response from Matt but James made a reference to Matt endorsing Jeff in his e-mail endorsing Jeff.
I have not seen a second for either Jeff’s or Jason’s nomination. Since Sven’s endorsement of Jeff’s nomination appears to be the first for Jeff I recommend that we take the endorsement as a second to his nomination.
I did not see either an endorsement or a second for Jason’s nomination.
This is how I see the nomination results:
From the PMs I’ve seen in response to the call for nominations, Jason and Jeff were the only members nominated. There was no second or endorsement of Jason’s nomination; Jeff is the only candidate to receive a nomination and a second/endoresment for the position of Chapter President.
The floor/formum is now open for discussion of nominated candidates for the position of Chapter President until 0600, 15 Apr 2011, unless input is received from all addressees before that time then we will move to the next phase.”
04-14-2011 06:43 Joey Nieves Accepted Jason Wade’s decline of his endorsement. And endorses Jeff Brazzle.
“I agree with the caucus and endorse Jeffrey Brazzle for Chapter President.”
04-14-2011 07:03 Chrystie Garcia Forwarded Matt’s response to all founding members as a correction to Bob Miller’s post at 04-14-2011 06:35.
04-14-2011 07:52 Ken Bradley Second’s the nomination for Jeff Brazzle
04-14-2011 17:36 Jeff Brazzle Accepts the Nomination for President
04-15-2011 08:34 Bob Miller Opens the floor to vote for Jeff Brazzle as President
“Point of order...
Though Jeff is the only nominee with a second we still need to vote to make this official...
All in favor of of Jeff Brazzle as president of the chapter type Aye.
All opposed type Nay.
This poll is open until 0600 Mountain time 16 April 2011 after which I will tally the votes and we will go from there.”

04-16-2011 10:16 Tim Kuster Missed Vote
“Congrats Jeff! I guess no one got my email with my vote, but I voted AYE”
04-18-2011 14:22 Jeff Brazzle Motion to Change Method of Meeting Forum
“I move that we conduct a virtual meeting via a thread under the Camp MJ 2011 Planning (Rocky Mountain) forum at http://www.militaryjeepers.com/commu...ocky-Mountain) (http://www.militaryjeepers.com/community/forumdisplay.php?202-Camp-MJ-2011-Planning-(Rocky-Mountain)) in order to fill the three remaining officer positions within Military Jeepers of Colorado Springs, Inc; that three treads be open simultaniously for nominations then we can discuss, amend, etc., then vote on them. One thread for each postion of Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. Once approved, we can move this venue to the thread so as we won't miss e-mails and all can see the seconding of motions and everyone see's all votes and discussions real time. I charge Jason to ensure that all founding members have access to that thread since he is an administrator for it.

James Marden is still the appointed temporary secretary to record the proceedings until such time as officers are elected and installed by the founding members.
Someone should second this... then we can discuss, amend, etc., then vote on it”
04-18-2011 14:26 Ken Bradley Seconds the motion

Should you not care to make a nomination please post that to the forum.

During the next phase I will list the nominees and continue the process.”
