Hello all,
You should just have received the following email from Salzie Sachertorte.
Without further ado, per NL 4-27(5) On the seventh day after passage, the SC will email a list of all submitted names to all citizens.
[... proposed names sent by email ...]
Once again, please keep this list private so we don't have any domain squatting.
The Next Step:
Per NL 4-27(6). Each citizen shall then submit a ranked list of his/her top five names (at most) for each contest in the manner outlined in section 3.
A citizen may rank fewer than five names if he/she so chooses. Names shall be given points as follows:
1 ranking= five points
2 " four points
3 " three points
4 " two points
5 " one point
unranked - zero points
Citizens must submit their ranked lists by the end of the tenth day following passage. Votes are to be kept anonymous by the SC.
This is being distributed on June 12, therefore, the cutoff for submitting your choices is June 14th.
Per NL-4-27(3) ....Names shall be submitted to any voting member of the SC via email, IM or notecard. Names shall not be submitted on the forums or via other public posting.
Please submit your rankings to:
The members of the SC are:
Gwyneth Llewelyn [email protected]
Dianne Mechanique [email protected]
Diderot Mirabeau [email protected]
What's next?
Quoting the rest of NL 4-27
7. After the close of ranking, the SC will submit privately to the RA the five names from each list with the highest point total. Names with equal numbers of points will be ranked alphabetically but the list given to the RA must carry no indication of this ranking and the ordering will therefore be alphabetical.
8. The RA shall meet in closed session no later than 17 days following the passage of the bill to vote on the winning name from the entity ranked list based on the criteria in section 2. The result of the vote will be submitted to the SC.
The RA shall meet in closed session to vote on the winning name for the sim naming based on the section 2 criteria. The result of the vote shall be submitted to the SC.
9. If a majority cannot be established within the RA in favour of a particular name on a list then the SC determines the name with the highest total number of points on the list as the winner. Should there be more than one name with the highest number of points, the SC will ask the guildmaster to choose a random number between 1 and x where x is the number of names on the list with the highest number of points. The name on the list with a position corresponding to the number chosen by the guildmaster will be the winning name.
10. Once the wining names have been determined the SC is authorised to register the relevant internet-domain(s) and apply to Linden Lab for a change of sim name. A sum of money equal to L$19000 will be allocated to that effect.
11. After the completion of each naming process , including domain registration and sim renaming if appropriate, the SC will announce in the forum the new name along with the complete lists of names participating in the respective competition and their score.
