Hello all,

I’ve been posting about this for quite some time. The nominations for the Advisory Board are posted.

I am looking for the support of you, my readers, the readers of your journal and as many people we can link to from there. But of course, only if you think I’m the candidate to do the job.

My platform and your chance to support me can be found here:
http://community.livejournal.com/lj_election_en/2641.html?mode=reply

I ask that you take a moment, read my post, and post a comment (at the link, not here) of support:
Preferably, “I support this nomination”

And more importantly, I ask you to re-post the link above and a similar message in your journals and encourage your readers to do the same. Regardless of the overlap that you think our readership may have.

Thank you very much for any and all support.

-Andrei

Hello readers.

Tomorrow is the nominations for the LiveJournal Advisory Board. I ask that you keep an eye on my journal tomorrow and be willing to post to your journals and ask your readers to do the same.

I think I have a very strong background to represent users well on the board and your support is really what is needed.

As always… (relevant) questions are welcomed.

I’m going to keep this one short:

I’m intending to run for the LiveJournal Advisory Board. Nominations open May 5th (Monday)

I’d like your support. If you’d like to support me; here’s what you can do.

1) Post in your journal that I’m going to run and request your readers do the same. (Link back here)

2) Read:
the post about what this actually means
My original statement of intent

3) On May 5th, I will post the link to my nomination; I need at lest 100 different user comments that say, “I support this nomination”

4) Question me, question the process: If you have any questions, concerns, advise, etc… Please feel free to comment here.

I think I am qualfied, motivated, and passionate enough to have a positive effect on LiveJournal and be a fair representative of the different types of users that LJ has.

Thanks

By the way: If anyone would like to help me with graphics or badges for this endeavor…. I would be very appreciative.

I’ve spent several weeks thinking about this since the initial announcement.

LiveJournal, Inc is in the process of assembling an Advisory Board.

This board will have elected two members from the LiveJournal user membership.

The reasons leading up to this decision were based on my qualifications:

1) I have been an active user of LiveJournal for over 5 years. I established my account in October 2001.
2) I have been researching and developing in the technology area of “Social Networking” for about 20 years.
3) My net based experience actually goes back 30 years.
4) I am for the most part… sane

Interestingly, I don’t consider myself the average user. But I consider myself a typical user.

If you have any questions, suggestions, reservations, etc… please feel free to ask.

Granted, there isn’t a whole lot of details yet on the position or the election process. So… Once more information comes out, I will either elabourate or withdraw. My guess at this point will be that it will confirm what I believe they are looking for.

Okay.. that’s my two cents. Back to work at the office.

6 Apart and LiVEJOURNAL (I hate the capitalization from the logo) announced new child safe policies and tools for the site.

New functionality opens up a big can of “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” these factors once again feed into an innate problem of LJ.
