  • All recognized ESEAP affiliates should have a vote
  • Thematic and language groups in ESEAP should also have some representation
  • Should have seats for affiliates and seats for communities
  • Each affiliate has 2 votes, and each community has 1 vote
  • Using Meta pages to identify the un-affiliated groups/communities; for communities that do not have a Meta page, if they want to vote, it is required for having an ESEAP affiliate to endorse their registration.
  • Ensure no one is representing more than one group
  • The vote to take place on Meta
