Better stated "What would try to do?"

Personally I'm not yet certain I would try to change anything EXCEPT that through the "Standing Rules" I would try to get the EC to allow anyone, in the running for Nominating Committee (NC) nomination, to attend the NC meeting and be allowed to state and/or debate the issue prior to the NC vote. Anyone from the outside running against an incumbent has the deck stacked against himself, the outsider.

I think that any member-nominated individual willing to attend the NC meeting at his/her own expense, should be allowed to attend and speak at the NC meeting, but NOT vote. In addition, I would be for those EC members also nominated for a renewal or other EC position to not be allowed to vote for those position/s they are are running for.

The fact that in 2007, I was at the EC meeting when the meeting recessed for the NC to select the 3 for the ballot. I was NOT allowed to attend that meeting, yet said meeting lasted only some 15 minutes while the EC/NC selected 3 of their own for the ballot.

Nothing is going to stop EC members from seeding the ballots to ensure outsiders get a split up vote. With the very low interest of the overall membership, I doubt that to try anything in that problem is going to do any good. Red conveniently lost the 2nd time I ran against Holland results where I received over 40% of the vote. That showed some dissatisfaction in the ranks. When I ran against Sandy Frank, Moss, a well known and respected RCer was, at the last minute, inducted and provided a quick Leader Membership so as to fill the ballot. SHOT happens and it always will.
