The decision
Paul: An ARC should be a nomination of the respective regional RC, an announcement of the nomination should be posted in the champ forum for an "objection/discussion" period. The nominee must be at least an LC. If there are no objections at completion of this period the nomination is approved. If there are objections, discussion and consensus must be established for each item of objection. Should this not be accomplished in the time period the nomination fails, and a new nominee must be considered. It should be noted that the nominee will have full access to comment/defend on any objection as they will have full access to the discussion as an LC/GC. The role of an ARC should fall in line with that of the RC, but the RC should be considered the senior decision maker for the region. Upon assuming the ARC role the RC and ARC can establish their roles for the region. If an RC steps down, the ARC will assume temporary RC duties until the permanent status can be voted upon. The ARC does not automatically assume the permanent RC role as this is a voting situation, but they can be an automatic nominee.
