Art Council

BORG2 Art Council: Click here for Candidates List

We are electing a 9 person body that will be the working and decision making body of the BORG2. Somewhat like a parallel llc for the BORG2.

This body will be divided into proportioned slots reflecting the demographics of the event: 6 slots will be for people from the local region (local being defined as close enough that you are willing to drive to meetings in sf, so in this case "local" might include LA and Reno too), and 3slots for candidates from around the nationl. Chicken and Jim can't run for the art council nor have a vote in its proceedings, but will remain with the BORG2 project as advisors to the council and do what seems reasonable and is asked of us.

The Art Council will likely meet twice a month. They will oversee art, coordination with borg1, fundraising, logistics, legal issues, problems, opportunities, jokes, small errant children, seth Maxwell malice, money dispersement, and generally be the doing, making and buck stopping entity of the BORG2. They will be in charge of all things that can't be figured out or administrated through direct voting. And we need to admit that many details cannot be dealt with through direct voting. We need representative democracy as well as direct democracy.

To be clear, this is not an advisory council. It is a working council.

If you are excited to figure out how all these ideas in the air might actually work on the road and on the playa, and are willing to act to make it happen, we encourage you to announce your candidacy and start campaigning. But to make sure you are serious and not messing with the people, we are suggesting a $100 donation/fee of all candidates to run, with this fee/donation going to the BORG2 Art Fund.

Deadline for applications is Jan 5th. Elections are Jan 18-19th. But campaigning starts now. So declare you candidacy today and begin making promises to the people and smearing your opponents! Let 100 flowers bloom! Let 1000 schools contend!
