The moderators, in consultation with our sponsors at ICD, decided to call on you to elect a new panel of moderators for CCC. The new panel will be elected for 6 months, starting January 1st, 1999, and ending June 30th, 1999. There will be three moderators in the new panel. The process will be like this: We will now start taking nominations for moderators from you. You can nominate any CCC member by posting here, or by sending email to ICD. Steve will be posting the list of nominees from time to time, and at some point will ask the nominees to make their views on moderation policy known, as happened last time, so that you can make an informed decision. If a nominee does not wish to run, he should inform Steve of this. Sometime during December, we will hold elections for moderators by opinion poll. We will continue to act as moderators until the new moderators start acting January 1st. We have been doing this for seven months, and all three of us wish to return to be ordinary CCC members now, and do not seek reelection. Here's a brief job description for a CCC moderator: The job of the moderator is to make sure that the CCC charter is observed by CCC members, which briefly means that the discussion is civil and on topic. The moderators have several sanctions available against members who do not follow the charter, one of which is to delete posts from the message board, and another to deny access to CCC for a period of time or indefinitely. A moderator is elected as one of a trio of moderators. By default, moderation actions are taken by majority vote, though the moderators may decide for themselves in which circumstances to waive this and give individual members power to act alone, and indeed are encouraged to set such working rules immediately after being elected. The Computer Chess Club has become one of the most important avenues of communication for our field. We call on all of you to contribute to our community by nominating and voting, and by standing for election if nominated. Amir Ban Bruce Moreland Don Dailey
