These are proceedings of the Provisional Board of the United Nations Space Consortium.
Sponsored by the great Region of Texas!
Note: There are three polls in this election. The election is at different locations with different candidates because the NS Forum limits the number of options which can be added to a poll. Each participant has three votes, one in each poll. You may vote for a total of three candidates.
Today, we begin to choose the leadership for the consortium. We have 11 candidates, presented below in order they are listed on the ballots:
Poll 1:
Imitora
Five Civilized Nations
Colony States
Prof. Tomi Kuper of Watfordshire
Poll 2:
Wetland
Pablicosta
Alrindor
Burly Shirtless Men
Poll 3:
Tedmonton
Hirota
Ukroatia
See the first reply for a link to each of these polls.
A review of the controlling language of the resolution creating the UNSC.

Proposal to Create a United Nations Space Consortium (excerpted)
Whereas the nations of the world wish to unify their efforts at space exploration, and
Whereas, no nation can claim title to the Moon,
Let it be resolved, that an agency to be named the United Nations Space Consortium (hereafter referred to as “U.N.S.C.”) is hereby created. The purpose of the U.N.S.C. shall be to establish a permanent Lunar Base capable of furthering the exploration of space for knowledge and resources.
The U.N.S.C. shall be incorporated under the charter of the United Nations and entirely funded through the sale of stock to any desiring nation, regardless of their affiliation to the United Nations. Non-participating nations are free to pursue their own space objectives, but would not reap the rewards of the investors. No taxing authority shall be created by the passage of this resolution.
Full operational control, design, development, priorities, and administration will be assigned to the Board whose service will remain subject to the will of the stockholders, as provided for in the Articles of Incorporation.
*****
The Board you are about to choose will begin this great adventure in space exploration. They will design an organizational structure that will provide for the human quest to the stars. They will determine a price and sell the stock of the consortium. They will contract with nations, corporations, cooperatives, trade groups, exchanges, and individuals to furnish the services and material required for their UN mandated project.
It is important to remember that any nation who wishes to may participate in this election. UN membership is not a requirement of participation.
We urge all interested parties to choose wisely and be an informed voter. The candidates are free, of course, to post any material they think will help the voters make an informed choice.
According to the results of the earlier Polls conducted during these proceedings, this election is to select 9 directors, each of which will serve 6 months. The earlier poll results are at the bottom of this announcement.
The elections for the candidates have been listed in each poll in random order through a drawing conducted by me, President Rix Wax of the Democratic Order of Rixtex; The Hon. Big Tex, President of The Big Tex Taco Texas Chain of NewTexas and President and UN Delegate of the Region of Texas; and President Dewey of the Crowded Utopian Community of TimDauwalter and Texas Regional Sec. of UN Matters.
Each participating nation will have three votes, for the reason stated above. The nine nations receiving the nine highest number of votes will be elected to the Board of Directors. The nation with highest total number of votes will be elected Chairman of the Board.
This election will last all week, from today, Monday March 8 to Sunday, March 14. All electioneering should be conducted as a reply to the individual polls and should be in the spirit of fair play and NS etiquette.
When the choices are made and the results certified by the Texas Regional Cabinet, the keys to the brand new, never occupied headquarters of the United Nations Space Consortium will be handed over to the Board of Directors.
From that point forward, the Chairman and the entire Board will take control of the Consortium with the stockholders, and staying true to the resolution that created it, propel the United Nations and humankind outward to Luna, the Solar System, and the stars.
Good luck to all the nominees!
