Nominations for National Committee At-Large Representative
Per the BTP's bylaws, Article 9, section c:
Prior to the beginning of the Party's organizational convention, and on January 1st of the year of each subsequent regular convention, notice of the election of at-large National Committee members shall be published on the Party's web site and nominations shall be opened, to be made through the appended comments form. All candidates who are nominated by two or more members of the Party, and who accept nomination (also through the comments form) prior to the opening of the convention shall be listed on a poll on the Party's web site. The poll shall remain open throughout the convention and end with the convention's adjournment. The method of election shall be "approval voting" -- each voting Party member may cast votes for all nominees whom he or she deems acceptable, and the four nominees who poll the largest number of total votes shall be elected. In the event of a tie, all nominees to whom the tie is applicable shall submit to a random selection process chosen and administered by the chair, with the Vice-Chair and Secretary attesting to the fairness and honesty of results of said process.
This is the official nominating space for at-large national committee members. Please pursue all discussion other than nominations, seconds and acceptances/statements of non-acceptance in the general forum.

Nominations close at 7PM ET on Wednesday, May 26th (tomorrow night). Nominations must be seconded and accepted by 7 PM ET. At that exact time, the chair will record the nominations and post the polls as quickly as possible after 7 PM. Polls to elect national committee members remain open for the entire convention. The site will automatically close the polls shortly after 7 PM on Wednesday, June 2nd. After that point, web site administrators will verify that there is no evidence of poll abuse, then the former chair will officially announce the results and pass the gavel to the new chair.

First of all you need to chose the right person for the right post. Otherwise the purpose of the organization will be in vain.

I realize he may decline the nomination, but I nominate Tom Knapp for At-Large Rep
Todd Andrew Barnett:
I second that nomination.
Thomas L. Knapp:
Darryl and Todd,
Thank you for honoring me with your nomination for an at-large seat on the national committee.
I regretfully decline. At this time, the trend of my personal activities and preferences is toward less, not more, involvement in party politics. That might change, but even if it does I don't see myself as a good fit for membership on the national committee of a party at this time.
Best regards,
Tom Knapp
