Difference between revisions of "Former AVEN Project Team members"

Revision as of 17:43, 15 September 2013

This is a list of all (known) former Project Team members, who have served as a PT member between July 2006 and the present day.

The Project Team was first proposed by David Jay back in June 2006. Prior to this, AVEN was heavily forum-centric, with far less focus on visibility. There had been little focus on structured projects prior to this, (excluding this one event). David Jay had pretty much lead every project personally up until this point, with the occasional volunteers. There was no structured organization beyond the Moderating team, which had been selected by DJ (Interestingly enough, DJ had raised the PT idea just months before the very first Admod elections took place).

Nominations for this new team were held on the 9th of June 2006 and lead by AVENguy (David Jay), less than a week after he proposed the idea. The nominees were required to send in their nominations via eMail or private message, directly to AVENguy or Cashew (a present admin at the time). AVENguy had originally sought to set up a temporary forum for the voting process (due to an error with phpBB's poll software), this forum continues to exist as the Elections Forum.

2006/2007 (First Team)

The first 6-month re-election should have taken place by December 2006, unfortunately majority of the team had stepped down from their position. Only Hallucigenia and Triple-A remained as active team members at this point.

The 5 positions were advertised. However, only 5 members had nominated themselves, thus the 6-month re-elections were not held. The following members were appointed as temporary team members

2007/2008 (Second period)

July 2007 nominations thread

There was a period of uncertainty between February and May 2007, which was brought to light by Cashew on the 23rd of May 2007. This sparked a large and heated debate, which proved too much for Triple A, who resigned later that day. This was a huge blow to the Project Team, leaving Hallucegenia as the only regularly active member.

This is somewhat relevant, the state of the Project Team was discussed and voted on, the majority had voted in favor of Open(ing) up the Project Team forum to everyone and immediately hold an election for one or more Project Team moderators, who will remain nominally separate from the rest of the admod team and arbitrate project decisions., giving birth to the current Project Team structure.

The team had discussed the length of periods during October, it was decided that the period served should be increased from 6 months to 1 year.

2008/2009 (Third period)

August/July 2008 re-elections thread

2009/2010 (Fourth period)

The original discussion thread

The next re-elections took place in August 2010. Nominations were taken in Announcements this time, as opposed to Visibility & Education. Combined roles were common at this point, EGD ran for the JFF mod spot on the 8th November 2009, GoAllyGoGo ran for the Announcements and Gender Forum mod spots on the 10th of March 2010, and later . . .but there are sounds ran for World Watch & Asexual Relationships, on the 20th of July 2010. All three won their elections, giving them combined roles.

2010/2011 (Fifth period)

At some point early in 2011, the admods decided to scrap combined roles. If a mod seeks to run for a PT position, they are required to give up their moderating position, and vice versa. It was also later decided, during September 2011, that the period between re-elections be increased from 1 year to 2 years.

2011/2013 (Sixth period)

The present team! The period length was revised yet again, subsequently it was decided that the PT period shall be increased from 1 to 2 years.
