To clarify the comments about rules around self-dealing:
-
Self-dealing clauses are outlined in Optimist Expectations, and it is suggested that people undelegate from delegates found to be self-dealing.
-
Former Council members may vote on future operating budget proposals as there is no guarantee they will be elected to the future Council. Previous affiliation and contributions to the proposal were also clearly disclosed.
-
A Code of Conduct Council may be proposed with an adjusted budget, based on delegate feedback, in Special Voting Cycle #23b. If no Code of Conduct Council is renewed, the Rules of Engagement will continue to be enforced but by the supportNERDs rather than an elected Council.
