Reasons To Disagree

The founders of the religious Orders in each counrty should be a member of International council, ex. New Zealand, Austrillia, United Kingdom, Canada, USA, plus 8 TBD

I don't believe that this method would improve the process of choosing representatives for the council. I believe everyday actions would be the testament of one's dedication to the local order, and that votes should be cast locally (online or offline, to the leader's preference), as I believe the local members deal with the candidates way more and would have more grounds on which to base their decision.

once elected that Jedi shall remain on the council until he/she resigns or is dismissed for committing some offense that violates the Jedi code

I believe the term should not be yearly, but either 2 or 3 years, Because what chance has a leader got to make a difference in only one year?

If we truly believe in the religion then we must embrace the belief that the force has an active role in the lives of it's members. Pick your members based on their academic and physical understanding and capabilites within that area of expertise.

Two or three years is better i think.

follow the Jedi Council of old. The Council was made up of five lifetime members, four long-term members, and three limited-term members

I belive masters should choose their successors, but the people should have the right to call a masters choice

since we are spread worldwide, and some can probably not meet - online is an option, but should only remain an option - if you are willing to vote, I believe you should try to be there physically for the election - I would prefer a physical vote (with an online option - as it is of course totally understandable some jedis can not come - be it for money matter, or physical, or time and all other kind of things that can happen- ) It would make sence to be able to physically vote at a real meeting, or vote thru your church.

Yes only the best jedi should be voted!

The high council should be part of achieving the rank of Master and not to be given out lightly. A vote by the whole community of atleast 70% approval should be required to obtain the position, once there, you are there untill you step down, are removed for going over to the darkside by the council, or death. Good leadership is hard to find and once you have it, you should keep it aslong as it benefits the group. Sir Liam

The Jedi administrative board should be real Jedi The Jedi high counsil should always be one with the force. we cannot give in to selfishness, for it is the cause of the unbalance in the force in this earth plane.

The initial council could be established by an online meeting, if it does not yet exist. However, once established, the council should appoint members to fill vacancies or expand the council as the need is determined by the council. The council also should remove members as they determine appropriate.

Council members should follow and be tested on Jedi faith. Rank and knoledge are grounds for council election anf prevent corruption in elections.

It should be a face to face deal.

"The founders of the religious Orders in each counrty should be a member of International council, ex. New Zealand, Austrillia, United Kingdom, Canada, USA, plus 8 TBD" this would seem logical.

Scrap the board decisions should be made like this

no ther should be no board we should have a community online were we are ALL free to discuss our questions and missions.

One year is too short of a period to make any kind of improvement/change. A longer term, 2-3 will allow for greater impacts upon the Church.

one year is stupid, it has to be 2 or 3 years on the council, but the voting should be staggered every year; if 9 council members, then 3 are voted in every year for 3 years !!!!

The founder of the org should appoint whoever he/she wants as administrator. It's their business, they should maintain control rather than give control of important issues to internet strangers!

we must select a council who will stay for 1 year, but we must have representatives from all countries I volunteer myself to be the representative of my proud country of Wales

Vegas in person.

Members of the council should be decided apon and adopted by the council itself

not online we need a capital

The council Must be chosen to lead us to enlightenment. not by democracy.

Annually is too soon, every couple of years would be better.

Leadership positions should be decided by duels, not a vote of the weak.

Reasons To Agree

It should be online so that EVERYONE can perticipate.

An online forum is best for now. In the future a system of representatives may be better to allow for face to face communication. Though I feel that any representative system needs to be fully transparent in an online form.

If we make it a mere year between elections, we might dissolve the continuity we need for a stable organization. If we go longer than four, though, we allow intrenched interests to form. I lean toward 1/4 of the board being elected each year.

i Completely agree.

I agree... however as well as being online, I think this should take place in the physical sense. Committment of those nominated to attend will ensure a strong board.

it would be good if it was for everyone..

I think you mean "an annual General Meeting"

agree to agm and online voting. term of office needs to be variable depending on the responsibilities of the elected member. maybe between 2-3 years. have it similar to usa president. cannot serve more than 2 terms consecutively. keeps ideas fresh and admin board constantly moving forward and evolving in this ever changing world

Every Jedi should have his/her say in this great decision.

a portion of the council elected per year sounds like a good idea to keep the confusion down and remain democratic

A true jedi council would equally respect the thoughts of all the force conscious. We cannot allow a few to decide for the masses, it is against the jedi order

1/4 per year, to maintain continuity. Online voting. Great ideas.

This would keep it fair as to not set up a monarchy as it were

The council will need to have equal men and woman, as per the original 12

a sound idea

Yes, I think so. And send a mail to all members 14 days before it is holden at least.

Yes. Having a bigger range increases the amount/type of good decisions made so online where everyone can participate means a bigger range of ideas so therefore better for the order.

yes, constantly rotating

Agreed

That seems like a functional and logical approach. Existing members can always be re-voted onto the board.

It should be based off the most leading members of the church.

The vote should be by popular vote, also we must consider when it is time to retire a master.

Perhaps online can work excluding ths fact of hackers or unhappy members attempting to fudge the vote

1/4 per year, to maintain continuity. Online voting. Great idea!

online voting is a great idea

-but if it's possible, then it should be both. A physical meeting but also an online event.

Sparta

allowing others to vote for what they want is the best way.

Continuity would be an issue, but i agree that some sort of voting system should be available so as to allow freedom of choice. The idea of a rotated council strikes me as a good one.

Yes and it should have the Jedi Code and Teaching so the whole universe can benefit

yes i think this is good, like the pope lol

We should have a place to meet in person and hold our elections together and get to know one another better.

i agree but a time should be set and to give members time to check e-mail and respond

i agree so every 1 can particapate

ALL must be heard.

I believe we should hold our annual BBQ at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Teach yourself to let go of all things you fear to lose. Do not mourn for those hotdogs that you consume, transform into the force they do.

The entire church should be able to participate in the election and ordinary church members who have shown great dedication to the church should be allowed to become an administrator if nominated but thats an opinion for another vote

i agree

It is more reliable than the postal service, online voting is the only way for a mass number of Jedi to be involved

It should be online so that EVERYONE can perticipate

so that everyone can participate

Sexy time i like you my name a borat

We have no need for other representatives than the council every brother and sister shall have an equal voice

Agreed. If we were to only have live interaction elections, many, MANY people will be left out if they don't have the resources to make it to said meeting

Reasons for Remain Neutral

The board like the coucil should be made up of twelve. To even out the electoral process, these twelve should be split up into groups of three. Each group shall be elected anually so that over the time period each group serves four years but the council on the whole is refreshed on a yearly basis. Online AGM's are vital for the survial of the Jedi order but the council should meet, in person, twice a year to solidify the organisation.

I agree that the board should be made up of 12 and it is from International and it should be kept that way because each country would have individual views. But they should meet at least twice a year....

would you allow all to vote? even our enemies?

I believe of the twelve person council. and that they are not all from one country but international, that way we could learn of things happening in different places and think of places we could try to help.

They should be voted but also work their way up.

I like the idea of online voting, and an annual vote... But the point has been made that founders should have a constant voice. Perhaps some of the chairs on the Council should be reserved for the founders, while others are held to a vote. Also, suppose that perhaps there were several councils... I mean to say that there should be regional councils with one Council leader who is then a representative on the High Council. Just a thought, but this would allow best possible representation for all Jedi views.

A High Council with 1 or 2 members per country will be enough

I also agree on this: "A High Council with 1 or 2 members per country will be enough" to do the election could be fine

the addition of new masters should be one subject to the review of the whole church, but the removal of established leaders should be less easy to accomplish without cause

the election of admn peacefull must be, and the time of participation of the jedis can discesed in the future being.

A 'High Council' for each country consisting of 3 members (in each country), the other 12 'normal' council rotated through a 3 year system, voting in 4 every year, each to serve a 3 year term. The High Council to be voted in every 3 years. The High Council members basically act as a 'backup' or 'expert' committee on issues directly concerning their own country.

A church should not be managed as a bussiness

AGREE

I think terms should be longer than a mere year, at the same time, rotation allows a greater exposure to more ideas.

International representation is required from each 'recognised' region/country that has an active membership. This group should reflect that and not be restricted by a number limit.

I feel that for the time being it should be held online, until it can be agreed apon in the future to be in the physical. With technology today it also can be both. If prearranged before hand a place can be pick with the capabilities for other members who can not make it physically to be included in the process.

Sure it should work but people will think most likely that they want there vote to count so if u can get peoples count vote to count then i think it will work but if not people will dis agree and wont care

The Jedi should have all details of Counsel Meetings disclosed. An AGM should have certain power. (Break Ties, etc.)) An AGM sounds like an excellent idea.

I'm not entirely sure. Although having it online seems an obvious thing to do, with members of the Jedi Faith/Church being situated in many countries. :)

I no not enough of this process and until I learn more I can not comment with conviction. However it would seen fair and reasonable that parity throughout all Jedi councils be a priority so everyone works off the same 'hymn sheet'.

I can't say either way, though I feel a hazard coming in elections. Is there another way besides politics? What is the balance in this?

This should not be done in normal manner. Different aproach. Lottery of some sort.

The Jedi administrative board shall be elected at an annual AGM to be conducted online?
