Because the votes can contain explanations, some Board members may choose to
update their votes. This is allowed up until April 1; only the final vote counts.
If the result of the election would lead to a Board of greater than 14 (as
counted at the end of April 1), only
enough applicants are selected to bring the total size of the Board to 14.
(This effectively moves "That's it" up in the rankings.) In the event that the
size-14 cutoff falls in the middle of a tie, the tied applicants are not
appointed. (This keeps the Board at a maximum size of 14.)
Once candidates are selected, they are contacted by the Chair and invited to
join the Board. If any selected candidate does not accept this invitation,
then the next candidate further down in the ranking (up to the original location of
"That's it") is invited, continuing until either "That's it" is reached or a size
of 14 is reached.
Once candidates are selected, they are contacted by the Chair in rank
order and invited to
join the Board, with the Chair working down the list if anyone declines.
The Chair stops this process if either:
*
the Board reaches size 14
*
the Chair reaches "That's it" in the ranking
If either of these conditions happens in the midst of a tie in the ranking,
the Chair stops sending invitations. (That is, if there are 13 members of the
Board and the next two candidates are tied, neither is invited. Similarly,
if the next candidate is tied with "That's it" in the ranking, they are not
invited.)
For example, suppose Soomin Kim, Chris Young, and Jens Pedersen are applying.
