I think its a good idea to separate the moderator position from the management and suggest that the other moderator position be separated from the management at the next election on 25 August 2012 ""With regard to the minimum and maximum term served by a Committee Member the Committee came to the decision that a minimum period of 2 years should be served by an elected Committee Member in a particular portfolio and that the maximum term served should not exceed 4 years in that portfolio."" And it was a max of 4 years not 2 + 1 extra Read more: locsa.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=announce&action=display&thread=186&page=10#ixzz1lhECJyZTAri

Hi all Reading through the link Ari provided, I came across this little snippet " Re: LOCSA Management Structure « Reply #147 on Sept 7, 2010, 10:10am » Hi all
Luckily I am only 22. So I maby have a chance to be on the committee someday. Have hopefully many years still ahead of me.
Charles"
Reading Marius's reply to Charles, one cannot but wonder about a family tie between "Siener" van Rensburg and Marius.
For those not familiar with South African history, "Siener" was a renowned Seeer duiring the Ango-Boer War.
Regards
Spikes

Hi All, I feel nothing for too much democracy. All it means is that a lot of assholes select an even bigger asshole. Just look at the SA government. I think the senior management must appoint the moderator and manage him. If you doubt your management you will also doubt that your mother is your mother because she said so! Why on earth do you think she stuck with such a cry baby for so many years? Simply because she is your mother, not your sister!!! Or for those already a bit slow this time of the day: Mothers are mothers because they are mothers. managers manage because they are managers. If the children vote for the mothers you will not have mothers. If the members vote even for the moderator why do you need managers then? I suggest Nikki Lada as Vice President and Charles as moderator. Reasons: Nikki Lada is and was a manager for years and men needs a woman in senior management to balance things. Woman intuitively knows that a forum is about people and when conflict arise how to contribute to resolve the issues, considering the emotions involved with enthusiasts. Men will die in a fight to prove that there are two types of washers on a Niva shaft and woman will ask what the heck is it about washers or bolts that make men go nuts? You see? In the end you will still have washers on a Niva shaft (the actual real quantity and type) and all the members or most of them. There will also be less sulking members hiding in a corner of a cupboard somewhere in Sun City too! ;D Charles will be an excellent moderator because of his technical knowledge and practical experience, not to mention his enthusiasm. I see the chairman/president, vice chairman/president and moderator as a close team, acting together to further the Niva experience. I also think we should have a chairman/president booze supplier as well as a vice president/chairman booze supplier. I nominate myself as the vice chairman/president booze supplier due to my locally produced surplus mampoer stock I build up. It should last for at least two years. I am not so sure however, that the members will last that long!! Regards, Fanus

RE next election:
I suggest that there are more event organisers, one for each geographical region as its difficult to arrange things in an area you are unfamiliar with as well as if you know that you are not going to participate. I know that it should be Darryn's and my job to arrange the Cape Event but Gerrie and Mike are doing it.

Thanks guys and gals for all the nominations. The nominations clearly indicated that we are all aware of the strong "players" in our community. I believe that the three people nominated for the various positions can and will make a difference in the future endeavours of our LOCSA community.
I have notified Kobus of the outcome of the nominations and a new Moderator and Vice Chairperson should soon be appointed.
The position for Vice Chairperson is valid until August 2012 when a new Management Team will be elected. I am not sure about the positions with regard to the Moderators, but perhaps we can also have a rethink with the upcoming elections in August?
