11th Session

VONC of Hagen
On March 21, 2020, Delegate Arkenstone, along with Tedd Ddet and Thanos May, motioned to Vote-of-No-Confidence, or VONC, Chair Hagen, citing his failure to record the votes upon taking the Chair position. After Arkenstone called Hagen out for originally voting against his VONC, at which Hagen changed his vote to Present. The Delegation got into a heated argument as to whether they reached 2/3, and whether or not the VONC was even constitutional. Eventually, the Delegation voted on two appeals to appeal the Chair's decision that the VONC was invalid, and they voted to VONC him again, with 4 in favor, and Hagen being the loan person against the VONC. Again, after much deliberation, Deputy Chair Ddet held nominations for a new Chair. After Ddet turned down the nomination, Thanos became Chair after a 2-0-3 vote.
