The Structure of the 2021 Candidate Q+A Discussion

[MnFurs Election Committee]

Today, at 1pm we are holding our Q+A Discussion. This is usually an in person event, but, well… COVID. So, we are doing a Google Meet to bring this to you live.

If you have not seen a past Discussion here are the rules we will work by.

• The candidates will answer 15-20 questions in a two minute block per question today.
• Candidates will not be allowed to go over their time limit by more than ten seconds
• Note that if a candidate repeatedly interrupts another candidate in their timed response, the offender could be penalized with a shortened response time for subsequent questions.
• Continued interruptions could escalate to more severe penalties up to and including removal from the room during fellow candidate’s responses.
• The community may participate in today’s Session through questions submitted during the first half of the Session.
• Questions may be adapted depending on other questions submitted.
• No negative questions, as decided by the committee, will be used.
• Not all questions submitted will be used.
• Interruptions from the audience will not be tolerated. If interruptions or distractions continue, we will stop the event and ask the offending party to leave.

Then we have the video.

• This event is being videotaped to be published on the Minnesota Furs YouTube channel. This event will be posted once editing is completed.

And what this all for – voting.

• After our event today, voting will start March 7th, 2021

  • Ballots can be requested starting Sunday March 7th, by sending an email to elections@mnfurs.org.
