Ruling on Term Limits for the 2007 Pacifica elections

National Elections Supervisor Ruling on Term Limits for the 2007 Pacifica elections

The following is the official ruling of the National Elections Supervisor regarding how provisions for term limits in the Pacifica Bylaws will affect this year's elections for Local Station Board:

Delegates who were elected to a short term on a Local Station Board in February 2004, then subsequently re-elected to a full term later in 2004:

(a) May run for re-election, but are subject to the term limits currently in the Bylaws. If re-elected, these delegates would be required to vacate their LSB seats no later than 6 years after the date that they first took office.

(b) If vacating office prior to the Elections Close Date in 2009, would be replaced by the alternate next in line from the 2007 election, and if vacating office on or after the Elections Close Date in 2009, would be replaced by the alternate next in line from the 2009 election.

The above ruling is sanctioned by me as National Elections Supervisor for the Pacifica Foundation, effective this date, August 22, 2007.

Casey Peters,
Pacifica National Elections Supervisor (NES)
