It has been six months (and then some) since the last Viceroy Elections, so it's that time again. ![]() As usual, this will be run like the Provost elections in the Magisterium - a set of nominations, followed by voting. To account for Arbiters that may not be active (so we don't wait forever for everyone to vote) I would like this process to be tallied after one week. |

One important note: I will not be running for Viceroy this time around. This fall, I will have the time to be an Arbiter (hopefully) but not to fill the Viceroy role. Please don't nominate me. Thanks! ![]() On a more hopeful note, I nominate Barbara Manatee. In her time here, she has demonstrated the skill, creativity, initiative and objectivity that is necessary to be a good Viceroy. |

I shouldn't have to say this, but only Arbiters should be replying in this thread. Cleared out some spum from Alejandro. |

Considering we are still in the process of completing the Standing Orders of this body, I find the timing of this to be a bit odd. Perhaps it would be better to wait until after we have finalized the SOC before this? Just a suggestion. |

Someone suitable for the Viceroy position is suitable for the Viceroy position - regardless of the exact details of their duties, which have largely been worked out. I expect the SOC discussion to continue for some time, as well, it should, and the actions of the Conclave shouldn't be put entirely on hold during the discussion. |

I'd like to nominate myself, if that's okay. I think I'm fair and I know almost everyone who's on the forums. I also feel I'm quite creative and am good at keeping things moving in the right direction. |

All right, I think enough time has passed that we can get going on with voting.

Being Viceroy in the last term has given me an understanding of what the role requires, and what it will take in the more clearly defined role set by the SOC. From that experience and my knowledge of the current Arbiters, I feel that Barb is most suited for the role and so I cast my vote for her. I realize that she is rather new to TEP, but in this case that is an asset and not a detriment - Barb has demonstrated the superlative ability to question things and think outside the status quo here, which is a must for the Viceroy position. |

This is really nice. And really awkward: dammit Kandarin. I view Todd as a friend and obviously the region views him a capable leader. After weighing my options to vote now and how that will look and to vote later and how that might look - the hell with it. If I worry too much about how things look rather than just make the best decision I can, I shouldn't be an Arbiter in the first place. Todd, I will serve cheerfully under your leadership as Viceroy if you are elected - and I still love ya. I should decline nomination if I don't think I would be a good Viceroy - so here goes. Sigh. Barb votes for Barb. |

Well, in light of four people voting for Barb, I don't want to prolong this any further, especially since the four people who have voted are among who I would classify as active arbiters. So, I too vote for Barb, making the total 5-0, and therefore majority is achieved. Congratulations, Barb, and I have the utmost confidence that you will do an excellent job. Good work!
