2026 Election Discussion Thread

Thank you to DMS for the opportunity to be part of this year’s board election.

It was truly an honor to participate. I’m grateful for the conversations, the encouragement, and the many members who care deeply about DMS.

DMS is worth that kind of investment and I remain committed to supporting its continued strength, clarity, and progress however I can.

Looking forward to what’s ahead.

I really liked what you had to say at the meet the candidates. I think it would be great if you volunteered for one of the officer positions.

Are Officer positions officially being renewed/filled/voted-in during the May 20th Board Meeting? the Calendar event suggests that Agenda will be posted there, when will ANY agenda info appear? Will (some/all/any) agenda be posted anywhere else prior to the meeting (such as Source, discord, other locations I am unaware I should be watching?)

At one time I understood that persons should add their agenda requests to Source.

Yes there will be discussions and possible motions related to officer positions. The big clue there is the posts calling for officer interest.

Agenda normally gets posted a day or 2 ahead of time. (Or sometimes later). (Each board and secretary have free will to change their approach.)

It’s often posted to source under the BoD sections. That’s where the motion minutes all go, and agenda often is a form of the draft minutes.

This is all likely to change as a new secretary comes in. Hard to be sure in typing, but you sound like you need something or are frustrated by something. Hope that clears up.

That self service agenda mechanism was obsoleted some 5 years ago. Largely because it was no longer supported by the version of the platform.

I hated the implementation because it was not searchable. Ugh.

It’s a good idea though… wonder if there’s a better way to accomplish that
