Senior Delegate Forms

[cubewhiz]

In the past, Senior Delegates made recommendations for nominating/promoting/demoting WCA Delegates by writing an email to the WCA Board. To help standardize this process, the WCA Board created Google Forms for each of these three processes:
(1) Nominating Delegates
(2) Promoting Delegates
(3) Demoting Delegates

We would prefer if Senior Delegates could instead fill out a form on the WCA website (in the Senior Delegate Panel) that is sent to the board when submitted.

The fields for each form should be as follows:

Nominating Delegates
Candidate's Name*
Candidate's WCA ID*
Candidate's Email Address*
Candidate's Age**
Number of Competitions Attended**
Why would this candidate make a good delegate?
Why does the region where this person is located need a Delegate?
Additional information that you think is relevant?
[ability to attach a form?]

• It would be ideal if the delegate could select the user from the database.
  ** Doing so, should allow us to auto-populate these.

Promoting Delegates
[Select Delegate from list?]
Auto-populate Candidate Delegate's Appointment Date***
Auto-populate Number of Competitions Delegated
Provide link to Delegate's History page
Reason for Promotion
Additional information that you think is relevant?
[ability to attach a form?]

*** This isn't currently something we store, but I strongly believe it should be. It's one of the criteria for promoting a Delegate, so I think it's important for us to store this data.

Demoting Delegates
[Select Delegate from list?]
Auto-populate Candidate Delegate's Appointment Date***
Auto-populate Number of Competitions Delegated
Provide link to Delegate's History page
Type of Demotion (dropdown menu)
-to Registered Speedcuber
-to Candidate Delegate
Reason for Demotion
Additional information that you think is relevant?
[ability to attach a form?]

(I think it's possible for the Promoting/Demoting delegates forms to be the same since nearly all fields are identical, as long as the email the board receives makes it clear which type of request it is).

An improved structure would be to allow Regional Delegates to enter the data, but still require Senior Delegate to submit the form.

The form structure for promotions is now different because we require a background check from some Committees/Teams first.

AFAIK we currently use Google Forms to manage the nomination/demotion process.
I understand that this is not ideal but I guess it is still comfortable enough to warrant placing it lower on the priority list.

Feel free to argue if you feel this deserves a more immediate solution.

I agree - this would be nice to have but manageable without.
