Reasons To DisagreeThe founders of the religious Orders in each counrty should be a member of International council, ex. New Zealand, Austrillia, United Kingdom, Canada, USA, plus 8 TBD 9 July 2008
I don't believe that this method would improve the process of choosing representatives for the council. I believe everyday actions would be the testament of one's dedication to the local order, and that votes should be cast locally (online or offline, to the leader's preference), as I believe the local members deal with the candidates way more and would have more grounds on which to base their decision. 25 August 2008
once elected that Jedi shall remain on the council until he/she resigns or is dismissed for committing some offense that violates the Jedi code 26 August 2008
I believe the term should not be yearly, but either 2 or 3 years, Because what chance has a leader got to make a difference in only one year? 31 August 2008
If we truly believe in the religion then we must embrace the belief that the force has an active role in the lives of it's members. Pick your members based on their academic and physical understanding and capabilites within that area of expertise. 3 September 2008
Two or three years is better i think. 8 September 2008
follow the Jedi Council of old. The Council was made up of five lifetime members, four long-term members, and three limited-term members 10 September 2008
I belive masters should choose their successors, but the people should have the right to call a masters choice 18 September 2008
since we are spread worldwide, and some can probably not meet - online is an option, but should only remain an option - if you are willing to vote, I believe you should try to be there physically for the election - I would prefer a physical vote (with an online option - as it is of course totally understandable some jedis can not come - be it for money matter, or physical, or time and all other kind of things that can happen- ) It would make sence to be able to physically vote at a real meeting, or vote thru your church. 25 October 2008
Yes only the best jedi should be voted! 8 November 2008
The Jedi administrative board should be real Jedi The Jedi high counsil should always be one with the force. we cannot give in to selfishness, for it is the cause of the unbalance in the force in this earth plane. 9 December 2008
The initial council could be established by an online meeting, if it does not yet exist. However, once established, the council should appoint members to fill vacancies or expand the council as the need is determined by the council. The council also should remove members as they determine appropriate. 18 April 2009
Council members should follow and be tested on Jedi faith. Rank and knoledge are grounds for council election anf prevent corruption in elections. 19 April 2009
It should be a face to face deal. 4 June 2009
"The founders of the religious Orders in each counrty should be a member of International council, ex. New Zealand, Austrillia, United Kingdom, Canada, USA, plus 8 TBD" this would seem logical. 4 June 2009
Scrap the board decisions should be made like this 11 June 2009
no ther should be no board we should have a community online were we are ALL free to discuss our questions and missions. 13 September 2009
One year is too short of a period to make any kind of improvement/change. A longer term, 2-3 will allow for greater impacts upon the Church. 21 September 2009
one year is stupid, it has to be 2 or 3 years on the council, but the voting should be staggered every year; if 9 council members, then 3 are voted in every year for 3 years !!!! 29 September 2009
The founder of the org should appoint whoever he/she wants as administrator. It's their business, they should maintain control rather than give control of important issues to internet strangers! 16 October 2009
we must select a council who will stay for 1 year, but we must have representatives from all countries I volunteer myself to be the representative of my proud country of Wales 8 November 2009
Vegas in person. 26 February 2010
Members of the council should be decided apon and adopted by the council itself 22 March 2010
not online we need a capital 2 April 2010
The council Must be chosen to lead us to enlightenment. not by democracy. 5 April 2010
Annually is too soon, every couple of years would be better. 16 April 2010
Leadership positions should be decided by duels, not a vote of the weak. 6 May 2010
Biannual or triannual is good 1 December 2010
They should be chosen as the best for the job and online non-jedi's could vote messing it up 18 February 2011
The online election way, could become in a popularity contest, and Jedis have not vanity or any kind of greed. 27 February 2011
2 years 16 May 2011
Founders in each country should take over, unless of course they turn to the dark side, in which case it should defer to those in other countries. 18 December 2011
I prefer "every two years"... one only year is not time enough for developping a project... 1 February 2012
Do it in person 25 February 2012
Each council member should have a term of three or four years 23 December 2012
no it should be conducted by all members to avoid favouritism. 3 July 2013
More options, I need. 10 March 2014
Must Regionally Congregate in person. Each congregation, should Telecommunicate with one another. I would personally travel to my closest organization location to be apart of Jedi coming together, Granted seriously filter out the Lucas Freaks. 11 March 2015

Reasons To AgreeIt should be online so that EVERYONE can perticipate. 19 July 2008
An online forum is best for now. In the future a system of representatives may be better to allow for face to face communication. Though I feel that any representative system needs to be fully transparent in an online form. 19 July 2008
If we make it a mere year between elections, we might dissolve the continuity we need for a stable organization. If we go longer than four, though, we allow intrenched interests to form. I lean toward 1/4 of the board being elected each year. 22 July 2008
i Completely agree. 13 August 2008
I agree... however as well as being online, I think this should take place in the physical sense. Committment of those nominated to attend will ensure a strong board. 19 August 2008
it would be good if it was for everyone.. 31 August 2008
I think you mean "an annual General Meeting" 9 September 2008
If we make it a mere year between elections, we might dissolve the continuity we need for a stable organization. If we go longer than four, though, we allow intrenched interests to form. I lean toward 1/4 of the board being elected each year. 15 October 2008
agree to agm and online voting. term of office needs to be variable depending on the responsibilities of the elected member. maybe between 2-3 years. have it similar to usa president. cannot serve more than 2 terms consecutively. keeps ideas fresh and admin board constantly moving forward and evolving in this ever changing world 27 October 2008
Every Jedi should have his/her say in this great decision. 1 November 2008
a portion of the council elected per year sounds like a good idea to keep the confusion down and remain democratic 8 December 2008
A true jedi council would equally respect the thoughts of all the force conscious. We cannot allow a few to decide for the masses, it is against the jedi order 3 January 2009
1/4 per year, to maintain continuity. Online voting. Great ideas. 9 January 2009
This would keep it fair as to not set up a monarchy as it were 10 January 2009
The council will need to have equal men and woman, as per the original 12 28 February 2009
a sound idea 7 March 2009
Yes, I think so. And send a mail to all members 14 days before it is holden at least. 20 March 2009
Yes. Having a bigger range increases the amount/type of good decisions made so online where everyone can participate means a bigger range of ideas so therefore better for the order. 21 March 2009
yes, constantly rotating 31 March 2009
Agreed 18 April 2009
That seems like a functional and logical approach. Existing members can always be re-voted onto the board. 20 April 2009
It should be based off the most leading members of the church. 25 May 2009
The vote should be by popular vote, also we must consider when it is time to retire a master. 10 June 2009
Perhaps online can work excluding ths fact of hackers or unhappy members attempting to fudge the vote 17 June 2009
1/4 per year, to maintain continuity. Online voting. Great idea! 9 July 2009
online voting is a great idea 1 October 2009
-but if it's possible, then it should be both. A physical meeting but also an online event. 8 October 2009
Sparta 13 October 2009
allowing others to vote for what they want is the best way. 25 October 2009
Continuity would be an issue, but i agree that some sort of voting system should be available so as to allow freedom of choice. The idea of a rotated council strikes me as a good one. 27 November 2009
Yes and it should have the Jedi Code and Teaching so the whole universe can benefit 8 December 2009
yes i think this is good, like the pope lol 21 January 2010
We should have a place to meet in person and hold our elections together and get to know one another better. 21 January 2010
i agree but a time should be set and to give members time to check e-mail and respond 25 January 2010
i agree so every 1 can particapate 29 January 2010
ALL must be heard. 28 February 2010
I believe we should hold our annual BBQ at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Teach yourself to let go of all things you fear to lose. Do not mourn for those hotdogs that you consume, transform into the force they do. 5 March 2010
The entire church should be able to participate in the election and ordinary church members who have shown great dedication to the church should be allowed to become an administrator if nominated but thats an opinion for another vote 13 March 2010
i agree 17 March 2010
It is more reliable than the postal service, online voting is the only way for a mass number of Jedi to be involved 30 April 2010
It should be online so that EVERYONE can perticipate 1 May 2010
so that everyone can participate 10 June 2010
Sexy time i like you my name a borat 20 July 2010
We have no need for other representatives than the council every brother and sister shall have an equal voice 20 August 2010
Agreed. If we were to only have live interaction elections, many, MANY people will be left out if they don't have the resources to make it to said meeting 7 September 2010
Yes yes this means democracy 22 September 2010
Allows full participation for all members. Sounds good to me. 4 November 2010
all jedi must have the right vote and have a say in the path of the order 14 November 2010
there should be no administrative board, it should be handled by the council and they should have 12 members 6 on a four year "contract" that can be renewed if the council feels so and 6 members that are voted on every year, these terms can also be renewed 5 December 2010
Everyone has a say, so yes. 8 December 2010
this is the base of a democrate consil 3 January 2011
This gives the entire Order a chance to vote and gives everyone a chance to make themselves eligible. 22 January 2011
Indeed.Election campaigns should be held,and candidates elected into power. 28 February 2011
I agree yet I wouldn't want the hands to change too many times during my lifetime. Why? Because of how my coutry is run. Whenever there is a change in power there is friction and friction causes turbulence. Economies begin to crumble and dissapproval soars high! 5 March 2011
we should have somewere to actualy be a jedi and follow a path a temple of sort where someone can trualy dedicate themself ,this place is somewere a person can trually be voted as representative and work for the order and can be visited by any jedi and guests, 17 March 2011
Yes everyone opinions matter. 2 May 2011
very good idea online everyone should have the oppertunity to elect 2 April 2012
That makes sense 17 April 2012
Online voting would be the easiest way. 8 November 2012
Yes. 11 January 2013
So we can all be a part of it, even if we are on another part of the world. 16 October 2013
agree 26 November 2013
Allowing Admins to serve long terms makes them to trust worthy allowing them to deceive us. 3 January 2014
one year is a bit short though 21 November 2014
Such a process may help keep power and authority in check. 6 December 2014
Everyone can then participate in the voting. 13 February 2015
I agee with the election of regional or national representatives every year, with the possibility of re-election. 23 February 2015
I want to have my say I want to be a major part of this organisation and religion with the right moves this could make us jedi's stronger then ever 24 February 2015
It is a wise choice but could lead to corruption throughout the Jedi 29 April 2015
the force should get to interact also 21 June 2015
I agree on the grounds that there should be regional councils to ensure we are all represented. 1 January 2016
it is a good idea but where will the vote happen? 24 April 2016
The high council should be part of achieving the rank of Master and not to be given out lightly. A vote by the whole community of atleast 70% approval should be required to obtain the position, once there, you are there untill you step down, are removed for going over to the darkside by the council, or death. Good leadership is hard to find and once you have it, you should keep it aslong as it benefits the group. Sir Liam 31 August 2016
I do agree. 8 October 2016
AGREEEE 22 June 2019
democracy wins in the end 8 February 2020
All the members should have a say in how leads, it's only just. 6 December 2023
I love democracy 26 January 2024
With every registered member given the opportunity within a timely manner, to vote. Majority MUST rule the direction of all such matters. 17 February 2024
But, all members should be able to vote and everyone who is up for election should provide a web page about who they are and what they stand for. 1 September 2024

Reasons for Remain Neutral
The board like the coucil should be made up of twelve. To even out the electoral process, these twelve should be split up into groups of three. Each group shall be elected anually so that over the time period each group serves four years but the council on the whole is refreshed on a yearly basis. Online AGM's are vital for the survial of the Jedi order but the council should meet, in person, twice a year to solidify the organisation.
I agree that the board should be made up of 12 and it is from International and it should be kept that way because each country would have individual views. But they should meet at least twice a year....
would you allow all to vote? even our enemies?
I believe of the twelve person council. and that they are not all from one country but international, that way we could learn of things happening in different places and think of places we could try to help.
They should be voted but also work their way up.
I like the idea of online voting, and an annual vote... But the point has been made that founders should have a constant voice. Perhaps some of the chairs on the Council should be reserved for the founders, while others are held to a vote. Also, suppose that perhaps there were several councils... I mean to say that there should be regional councils with one Council leader who is then a representative on the High Council. Just a thought, but this would allow best possible representation for all Jedi views.
A High Council with 1 or 2 members per country will be enough
I also agree on this: "A High Council with 1 or 2 members per country will be enough" to do the election could be fine
the addition of new masters should be one subject to the review of the whole church, but the removal of established leaders should be less easy to accomplish without cause
the election of admn peacefull must be, and the time of participation of the jedis can discesed in the future being.
A 'High Council' for each country consisting of 3 members (in each country), the other 12 'normal' council rotated through a 3 year system, voting in 4 every year, each to serve a 3 year term. The High Council to be voted in every 3 years. The High Council members basically act as a 'backup' or 'expert' committee on issues directly concerning their own country.
A church should not be managed as a bussiness
AGREE
I think terms should be longer than a mere year, at the same time, rotation allows a greater exposure to more ideas.
International representation is required from each 'recognised' region/country that has an active membership. This group should reflect that and not be restricted by a number limit.
I feel that for the time being it should be held online, until it can be agreed apon in the future to be in the physical. With technology today it also can be both. If prearranged before hand a place can be pick with the capabilities for other members who can not make it physically to be included in the process.
Sure it should work but people will think most likely that they want there vote to count so if u can get peoples count vote to count then i think it will work but if not people will dis agree and wont care
The Jedi should have all details of Counsel Meetings disclosed. An AGM should have certain power. (Break Ties, etc.)) An AGM sounds like an excellent idea.
I'm not entirely sure. Although having it online seems an obvious thing to do, with members of the Jedi Faith/Church being situated in many countries. :)
I no not enough of this process and until I learn more I can not comment with conviction. However it would seen fair and reasonable that parity throughout all Jedi councils be a priority so everyone works off the same 'hymn sheet'.
I can't say either way, though I feel a hazard coming in elections. Is there another way besides politics? What is the balance in this?
This should not be done in normal manner. Different aproach. Lottery of some sort.
i think that having it online will cuase issues
How bout a general consensus between all regeistered members instead of elections?
I believe the administrative board should be elected to longer terms.
to communicate, not always present must you be. For the force allows you to commune with the fallen as well.
A 2-4 year duration on the council should be more helpful as the Jedi have more time to act on what is needed for the Jedi order to flourish and if it is based on votes those that have done good on the council,in the eyes of their fellow Jedi, may be voted back on the council
keep it small but not too small, less drama but dont forget about checks and balances
A 2 year distance would be more appropriate, but if it is online everyone can participate.
how can i get on the board
1 person to represent each country is alright, but make it more than a year, about 2 or 3 would be better.
Responsibility should be determined by the knights alone. We are not here for countries we are here for Jediism, this is not the UN. You can have a different position for country contacts (ambassador/bishop/primate, etc).
All members should be allowed a chance to run
A person can lie on the internet and no one would kn ow, but a face to face is harder to do as there are signs and instincts there for you. Section.
I think of a hierarchy with "landings" (grades), new members of a landings are elected by the members of this landing for his quality. Not like we elect a president. NOT LIKE IN POLITIC.
the councel should meet in person twice a year. there should be 3 life time members. apone voiting the 3 life time members each take 4 of the elected members (long and short turm) to come up with a standing, then the 3 life time members bring the idea to eachother
I agree that 1/4 or 1/3 of the council should be elected each year instead of wiping the board each year.
