OK...

- Let's say there are 10 people who nominate their choice for contributor of the month and email it me.

- I make note of nominations and send a list to committee of the nominees.

- Everyone emails me back their vote.

- We then post winner, and could post full disclosure or make available to committee.

I can see the logic in that. Hell someone is going to feel slighted anyhow...all that can't please everyone stuff ya know? I had another thought to sort of dovetail this one, how about 'new community member of the week or month'? Someone who jumps in and just gets busy? That might point to what we, as a community value in a member....or something like that.

I mean, it doesn't have to be 10 people, I just threw together an outline for discussion. It would be manual, but it could be discreet or private.

So it would be done by us then? Sounds feasible too.

Sounds equitable and fair.

There should in theory be a minimum (if at all possible) so we don't end up with one person emailing you what they thought, and then that person was the only one to send in a nomination, so that nom automatically wins. Does that make sense? lol

My only concern with this is that I don't know if just the committee should get a say...if it's a contributor contest, I think all the contributors should get a vote. Maybe:

- Say there are 10 people who nominate their choice and email it to Gary

- Gary starts a rumble-like post with private voting and all community members get to vote for 1 over a pre-selected length of time and the person with the most votes at the end of that time period wins.

Just throwing something out there...

If we did best contributor, or whatever the title would be, what do you think about also including best new contributor? Or, should new contributors who kick ass, just be counted in the bunch for the overall?

I think just overall is ok...trying to break down categories at all could easily turn into overkill.

That is definitely a reasonable way to go.

I'm not sure, that's a tough call

I like having one for best newbie if it's easy to work in there without ending up with a bunch of different categories.

Good point!

Plus now that I think of it, new people get nominated for the rumble already.

I'm not trying to be a pain, I just think that if this is a community event, the entire community should get a voice. A lot of people that have great opinions and experiences with members of the community might not be a part of these meetings simply because of a schedule glitch or something like that - I don't think their opinion should be excluded because of it.

I can see pros and cons of just an overall but also for a newbie one too.

How about this...

The eligible nominating committee is anyone who attended at least one Community Events Committee in the last 30 days. Can we starts saying CEC?

Then what would qualify as a newbie? Someone with less than 5 reviews? Less than 10? Or base it on length of time as a member? And if so, what length of time qualifies you as a newbie??

We can indeed starts saying CEC. And I think that sounds reasonable.

OK...

What would be a simple way of doing this, that is not like the Rumble?

The way that I was looking at it, anyone is welcome to attend the CEC meetings, and the people who are here represent a wide range of the people who make up our community. If those of you who can make it are the voice of the rest of the community, I feel that IS fair.

As can I. On one hand, if it was an overall sort of thing, then there wouldn't be a chance of overkill, but also, on the flip side the newer people may not have as much of a chance as some of the more established people in the community.

If there's a newbie one, then they get a bit more of a chance of winning, but then, as previously mentioned, it could turn into a sort of overkill or over complicate things.

Maybe we should make a poll to see how many people are even aware of this meeting and when and where it meets.

I think that's ok for the nominations...but who would voting be open to? The same CEC or the whole community - if just CEC, we might end up with one vote to every person nominated LOL

You know what, I was just thinking..I've seen in other groups a post where people could send in write ups about someone. Kind of like post secret but they would be nice things about the person. Like "I always find you so helpful so-and-so because you always _____" something like that. People could make up the submissions..they're usually like a picture from paint or something similiar..photoshop, whatever, and then have a weekly post about it. No winners or anything..just people getting to show their appreciation in a creative way.
