Now that the election for the new Representative Assembly has taken place and we know who most of the representatives (bar one or two) will be, I'd like to formally request that anyone who would like to stand for the position of Chancellor should make their candidacy known. Applications are open until 1 February and should be communicated to me by IM inworld (or email). It would also be helpful if candidates made their intentions public by posting on these forums.
The new Chancellor will be selected by the RA at the inaugural meeting which is likely to take place on Sunday 3 February at noon SL time in the Rathaus, Neufreistadt (subject to confirmation with the incoming RA when we know who all the members are and their availability).
The relevant section of the Constitution follows:
The Chancellor of the CDS shall be selected by the Representative Assembly from among any CDS citizen who shall make application to the RA.
The application period shall begin when the membership of a new RA is named and end the first day of the new RA term...
...The chancellor will serve a term ending with the election of the next chancellor by the incoming RA.
The Chancellor may not be elected to or serve on the Representative Assembly, nor serve on the Scientific Council. The Chancellor may hold a position in the Artisanal Collective but may not vote therein.
