Time for Declaring your candidacy for CDS Government Office

[Delia Lake]

The day you have been waiting for is finally here! Today is the first day of the week long period when you can declare your candidacy to stand for office in the 39th Term of CDS Government. Can you believe it? This will be the 39th time members of the citizenry of the CDS - me, you, and folks who are our friends and neighbors - have stepped up to volunteer a little time over a 6-month term to continue the good functioning of our representative government. Our government officers are our representatives. Yes, really. We vote and elect our government. This is pretty amazing in any world and very unique in our virtual world!

So now's your chance. Which office interests you? Representative Assembly member? Chancellor? Ask questions of your current government officers in person or here on the Forum. Think about it. We'll ping you again in a few days.

Declare your candidacy by sending a no-mod notecard to Delia Lake, Dean of the Scientific Council.
