Grupo Bantus Capoeira JapaoコミュのGBC Japão Committee（GBC Japão　委員会） 2007

Oi Bantulinos!

We had a jam-packed AGM yesterday and it took a lot longer than I expected to get through everything. In fact, we had to skip two very important parts of the meeting.

1. 2007 membership enrolments.

2007 membership fees will be collected from now on, and I'll be bringing t-shirts, stickers, and song books to every class.

2. Electing the 2007 committee.

So we're going to have to do this online.

The DEADLINE for electing the committee will be Tuesday March 20th 2007!

It will work like this:

Either nominate yourself for a position on the committee, or nominate someone who you think would be great for that position.

If that person accepts a nomination for a position, they will be in the election campaign for that position.

The person who receives the most votes for the position wins the position.

A nomination/self-nomination counts as one vote.

Rules:

People on the 2007 committee must commit to 12 months of dedicated work in that position, and are expected to attend regular committee meetings/submit updates via the GBC Japao Committee mixi community.

Only GBC Japao 2006/2007 members may be nominated for the position (Note. anyone who has been to 10 classes/3 months at GBC JP and wishes to continue must become a paid member in 2007). So if you think someone is going to be with GBC Japao in 2007, nominate them!

Only GBC Japao 2006/2007 members may nominate/vote in this election.

The current Chairperson has the right to nullify a nomination if it is considered inappropriate.

Positions on the Action Teams do not need to be voted for. You only need to volunteer your services, or nominate another person for an action team (and that person must accept the nomination of course). Anyone can join or leave an action team at any time, but must be committed and dedicated as well.

This Topic will also be posted on our blog.

So, here are the committee positions that we'll be accepting nominations/votes for.
