Report of the RAC Election Committee - September, 2005

On Saturday, September 10th, 2005 an Election Committee was convened in Kingston, Ontario.

Pursuant to a motion adopted by the RAC Board of Directors at its August 16th meeting, Steve Pengelly, VE3STV, the RAC Honourary Legal Counsel, established and chaired the meeting, on behalf of the RAC Secretary.

The Committee opened and reviewed the nominations received for the positions of Director, Quebec, Ontario South, and Alberta/NWT/NU Regions.

The Election Committee membership was as follows:
Mr. Ron Walsh, VE3GO
Mr. Roy Clarke, VE3VJF
Mr. Bill Nangle, VE3CLQ/VE7CVQ
Mr. Andrew Wollin, VE3UIN

The Committee made the following decisions:

Quebec Region Director:
One nomination was received for this position. Following a review of the documentation submitted and taking into account the constitutional and election process requirements, the Committee determined that the nomination was complete and in order. There being no other nominees, the Committee declared Mr. Noel Marcil, VE2BR elected as the RAC Director for Quebec Region for the 2006-2007 term.

Ontario South Region Director:
No nominations were submitted for this position. As a consequence, this position remains vacant.

Alberta/NWT/NU Region Director:
One nomination was received for this position.
Following a review of the documentation submitted and taking into account the constitutional and election process requirements, the Committee determined that the nomination materials were not in order and were not complete as only nine of the nominee’s nominators were members in good standing of RAC.

The Committee unanimously determined that since the election requirements of the RAC Constitution were not met, the nominee was not eligible for election.
As a consequence, and because there were no other nominees, the Alberta/NWT/NU Region Director’s position remains vacant for the 2006-2007 term.

The Committee recommends that a second call for nominations for both Ontario South and Alberta/NWT/NU Regions, be issued.
