SOME IDEAS ON DEMOCRACY WITH SAFEGUARDS

Here is one way that we could have the members vote
for the Directors but still give the Directors, and
other people with more experience in Alcor matters,
some additional control in the matter.  We could tweak
with the numbers if my suggested amount is not the
best.

Everyone who has been a member for 2 years or more,
gets one vote times the amount of seats to be filled,
in the election for Directors 

In addition to the one vote above, the following
people get extra votes.

Staff members get 1 extra vote for each position open.

Advisers get 1 extra vote for each position open.

Alcor members who are relatives of one or more
patients get 2 extra votes for each position open.

Directors get 5 extra votes for each position open. 
But they can NOT use the extra votes to vote for
themselves.

CHANGE IN ADVISERS POSITION.

Advisors will be appointed by the Director for the
length of the Director's term.  Each Director can
appoint 5 Advisers.  The Advisers are that Director's
helpers.  The Advisers serve as representatives 
between the Director (who appointed them) and the
members.
