This document is to formalize the process of members being promoted to Team Exec or Subteam leads.
Process:
Nomination ---> Team Exec Review ---> Voting among all team leads
⏲️ Timeline
Voting:
A new lead for the coming up term needs to be decided before the week prior to the reading week of this term, which means voting will happen during that week (eg. Voting for the lead for S23 will be decided one week before the reading week of W23.)
Nomination:
Nomination of the new lead is open from the start of the term until one week before voting week. For example, suppose the week before reading week is week 8, then the nomination will begin from week 1 and end at week 7.
Stepping down notification:
If a current lead is planning to step down for the next term, one must notify the Team Exec within 4 weeks into this term. Team Exec is responsible for notifying the entire leadership team of this information. This also applies to Team Exec stepping down. For example, if a lead is stepping down for F23, then one must notify the Team Exec within 4 weeks into S23.

🙌 Voting
Voting will be anonymous. Each vote is either Yes or No. There is no neutral/abstain option.
Voting platform options:
slido
Kahoot
The winning candidate must have at least 2/3 votes of the council (rounding up, eg if we have 13 team leads, then we need >= 9 votes)
The winning candidate must have more votes than any competitors
If there is a tie between the candidates, the Team Exec and the existing leads of the team will discuss it and make a final decision.
If multiple candidates are eligible, the voting will be in parallel, which means that each candidate will be treated as a separate voting process. You can vote for both of them, which means that you are equally happy about either candidate being the lead. For example, if both Candidate A and Candidate B are eligible, then we will vote on A first, and then another vote for B, then the team exec will collect the result and check the vote with rule #2 & #3. If there is a tie, then rule #4 applies
