Inactive: Council Member Announcements
Effective immediately: this forum is not currently active and will not be updated for some time. I am no longer a member of Council. I thank Kings of New York for the time I was able to represent their chronicle.
=============================
This is a place where I will post Council Announcements as a member of Council. As I am not an ST I can't get posting rights to the main chronicle Puppet (I don't want to see any of your sheets or downtimes) and I also do not want to continue to fill up my own personal profile with CM business.
Please subscribe to this if you want my announcements as a CM.
Please reply with any questions, comments, or concerns in these posts.
If you have any issues of the organization you would like for me to explain or address, send me a private message and I will make a blog post to explain these for the benefit of the entire game.

Coordinator Applications Extended until Midnight tonight!
February 26th, 2013
From our Head Coordinator:
Due to extenuating circumestances, and per the power of the OWbN By-Laws, I am able to extend the acceptance period for applications until the end of February 25th without Council action.
As such, I am doing so.
GET THEM IN TODAY.
Here is the clip from the Adminstrative By-Law 4
Coordinator Elections
A. Head Coordinator Elections
-
- The Head Coordinator shall be elected every February and shall serve until the end of elections the following year.
- Nominations for the position shall open on February 1st and close at the same time on February 7th.
- Voting will last until February 14th. In the case of a tie, voting will be held February 15th through 22nd with the former Head Coordinator serving during the interim. No other proposals may be passed or introduced during this runoff.
- No proposals relating to this election, election process, or the voting procedure may be proposed nor ratified within seven (7) days of the beginning of the voting period until the end of the election(s).
B. Other Coordinator Elections
-
- The Head Coordinator will nominate all other Coordinators.
- The Head Coordinator will accept applications for nominations for a minimum of one (1) week from the time the application procedure opens, which must be posted to the Council, ST, OWBN-OOC, and mailing lists in addition to the OWbN website.
-
- The Head Coordinator is required to nominate any applicant who has the support of five (5) or more member chronicles of OWBN. They may decline candidates with less support at their discretion.
- Each candidate must list prominently on their application from where their support is coming.
- Chronicles may support more than one candidate in this manner and they do not have to vote for the candidate(s) they supported.
-
- Should only one person submit an application for a given position, then the Head Coordinator may nominate that one applicant without a second applicant on the same ballot or extend the time for collecting applications as the Head Coordinator sees fit.
- The Ballot will be presented to Council three (3) days before the voting period begins for discussion, but no later than February 25th without a ratified proposal granting the Head Coordinator an extension.

CM Recommendation: MEEEEEEEEE!!!!! :)
Position: Sabbat Coordinator
Candidates: Adam Sartori
Application: http://www.owbn.net/coord-applications/2013/sabbat
CM Recommendation: Our lovely KoNY HST, Adam.
Position: Anarch Coordinator
Candidates: Geoffrey Combs (incumbent)
Application: http://www.owbn.net/coord-applications/2013/anarch
CM Recommendation: Abstain, unless the player base has a strong opinion. I haven't had any visibility to the genre to advise.
Position: Assamite Coordinator
Candidates: Lex Lopez & Brad Klinger (incumbent)
Applicationa: http://www.owbn.net/coord-applications/2013/assamite
CM Recommendation: Lex Lopez, our local.
Position: Brujah Coordinator
Candidates: Dave Lazarek (incumbent) & Jason Robinson
Application: http://www.owbn.net/coord-applications/2013/brujah
CM Recommendation: Dave has done a lot for the genre, and emphasized that the players should guide the ways that the Clan should progress. Jason is a more argumentative individual on Council, and I don't know how well he would work with the team.
Position: Gangrel Coordinator
Candidates: Joseph Sherrange, Carlos Eduardo Torres, Eddie Milham, James Sampers
Application: http://www.owbn.net/coord-applications/2013/gangrel
CM Recommendation: I recommend Joe S. (Eddie opened election discussion with insults, and my experience with James while I was HST of NOLA2010 left a very poor impression. I don't know Carlos.)
Position: Giovanni Coordinator
Candidates: Hugo Klessing (incumbent), Chuck Farmer
Application: http://www.owbn.net/coord-applications/2013/giovanni
CM Recommendation: Abstain, unless the player base has a strong opinion. I haven't had any visibility to the genre to advise.
Position: Lasombra Coordinator
Candidates: Joan Mergiliano
Application: http://www.owbn.net/coord-applications/2013/lasombra
CM Recommendation: Our lovely KoNY AST, Joan.
Position: Malkavian Coordinator
Candidates: Mark Koenig
Application: http://www.owbn.net/coord-applications/2013/malkavian
CM Recommendation: Mark is awesome and has continued to do a good job to represent his genre without becoming an overbearing force of NPC use.
Position: Nosferatu Coordinator
Candidates: "Sooper" - Mike B.
Application: http://www.owbn.net/coord-applications/2013/nosferatu
CM Recommendation: Abstain. I do not feel Sooper has done a great job for genre or working with other coordinators to ensure an overall responsible approach to genre, but if players really want to vote for him we can.
Position: Setite Coordinator
Candidates: Jennifer Lee (incumbent) & Scott Logan & Merle Walton
Application: http://www.owbn.net/coord-applications/2013/setite
CM Recommendation: Jenn Lee. The players who've interacted with her have spoken well of her ability to communicate and adapt to the needs of chronicles and players so I don't see a need for change.
Position: Toreador Coordinator
Candidates: Jonathan Gravely
Application: http://www.owbn.net/coord-applications/2013/toreador
CM Recommendation: Jonathan comes recommended by the previous Coordinator, Chris Foster, and was one of Foster's primary subcoordinators. This should be a smooth transition for continuity and administration.
Position: Tremere Coordinator
Candidates: Alex Rushing
Application: http://www.owbn.net/coord-applications/2013/tremere
CM Recommendation: Alex Rushing, so we can continue to have someone to blame.
Position: Tzimisce Coordinator
Candidates: Derek Howard (incumbent)
Application: http://www.owbn.net/coord-applications/2013/tzimisce
CM Recommendation: Derek Howard
Position: Ventrue Coordinator
Candidates: Brian Orlando (incumbent)
Application: http://www.owbn.net/coord-applications/2013/ventrue
CM Recommendation: Brian Orlando. I'm happiest that he's a Justi-Coord that remembers that his Clan has a presence in the Sabbat as well, and gives the Sabbat genre Clan Coordinator attention.
Position: Ravnos Coordinator
Candidates: Vincent Lanum (incumbent), William Lee, Joshua Wasta
Application: http://www.owbn.net/coord-applications/2013/ravnos
CM Recommendation: William Lee. I don't really feel like Vincent has done much, and Wasta's already quit one Coordinator position before.
Position: Changing Breeds Coordinator
Candidates: Justin Quigley & Ken Mattson
Application: http://www.owbn.net/coord-applications/2013/changing-breeds
CM Recommendation: Abstain, unless the player base has a strong opinion. I haven't had any visibility to the genre to advise.
Position: Demon Coordinator
Candidates: Jason Clark, Robert Beckett (incumbent)
Application: http://www.owbn.net/coord-applications/2013/demon
CM Recommendation: Jason Clark. Under Robert Beckett, infernalism and Baali have become so rampant as to not be about the presonal horror of such a corrupted soul, but rather, convenient shopping lists for terrible power-gaming. We need a change, and Rob Beckett isn't getting this done but rather making matters worse.
