[Phase 2] HIP-39: Election rules for elected officials

[ludovico]

As usual, a great quality HIP, Mads. I have some questions/comments:

@Mads

When a mandate for an official PoH position expires within 3 months any member may open an election thread to find a replacement.

What would the “election thread” format would be? Would it be necessary to further specify or we will just leave it for interpretation?

@Mads

Candidates must be solicited on all official channels and at least one month must be allowed for finding candidates and the deadline must be clearly communicated in the official thread.

We can use the approved HIP 16 Point 2. as the “Official” channels for distribution of the candidacy thread.

@Mads

The creator/moderator of the thread cannot be up for the election of any official post before the election.

I would add “at the time of the creation of the thread” at some point in this point.

I think in the early stages, we were too vulnerable of temporizing (i.e. avoid making a decision or committing in order to gain time) any concrete action due to lack of specifications. Unfortunately due to this, I think we should carefully specify a concrete timeline of events so no one can argue that the proper procedure was followed. For example:

@Mads

The moderator can after this procedure open an approval voting vote on Snapshot, where the candidate(s) with the most votes will be chosen for the available positions.

How long after? 1 week? 1 month?

So far these are the comments I have. Thanks again, Mads.
