5. Nominations received in writing within the allowable time from Scouters not on the nominating committee are given serious consideration. Each such nomination should be acknowledged with a brief letter of thanks and the assurance that the candidate will be considered. 6. The nominating committee will select a slate consisting of a single candidate for each council officer position and no more than the legally allowable number of persons for each of the following categories: executive board members, council members at large, associate and honorary members, local council representatives to the National Council; however, the committee may elect not to completely fill the latter categories. The nominating committee will then ensure that sufficient copies of the ballot are printed and that one is provided to each official voting member present at the local council annual business meeting. The order of listing on the ballot is as follows: Council members at large Associate and honorary members Executive board members and advisory council members Council officers (except Scout executive) and local council representatives to the National Council 7.

Should any portion of the nominating committee's report be rejected, this portion would be reintroduced, with or without changes, for consideration at an adjourned or special or postponed meeting to be held no more than 60 days after the annual business meeting. This would permit write-in nominations to be submitted and studied by the nominating committee. Formal notice of the rescheduled meeting, stating the purpose, etc., should be sent to eligible voters. The nominating committee should, at the rescheduled meeting, be called upon by the president to proceed with that portion (or portions) of the election that was not completed. It is hoped that nominating committee members will discover the reasons for the failure of acceptance of the slate and attempt to deal with them prior to one rescheduled meeting. 3.

Failing resolution the second time, the president may (a) elect to entertain a motion to follow the process in "2" above once again, or (b) dismiss the 38
