Voting Results Overview
Term of Office for SVLUG President/Vice President (Sept 2004) - alternate presentation

17 votes were tallied.
Choice Abbrev Description
#1 01-2YEARS-OK The tradition is 2-year terms. Don't change it.
#2 04-1YEAR-OK The terms should be changed to 1 year terms.
#3 07-IEEE-OK Borrow a system from a local IEEE chapter - the president-elect serves as assistant to the president for a year before actually becoming president for a year.
#4 02-2YEARS-NO No, 2-year terms are too long.
#5 08-IEEE-NO No, don't use the IEEE system because that's the purpose of the VP, and it doesn't bring an elected candidate to office immediately.
#6 05-1YEAR-NO No, 1-year terms are too short.
