A. LISTENER-SPONSOR MEMBERS
"Listener-Sponsor Members" shall be any natural persons, including national staff and management personnel and local management of any Foundation radio station management, (but not includingexcluding paid or and unpaid non-management members of local station staff or Pacifica Foundation national staff) who within the preceding 12-month period: (1) have contributed a minimum of $25 donation to any Pacifica Foundation radio station, or such minimum amount as the Board of Directors may from time to time decide, or (2) have volunteered a minimum of three (3) hours' work to any FoundationPacifica radio station. Said contribution shall be considered non-refundable.

B. STAFF MEMBERS
"Staff Members" shall be: (1) any non-management permanent full-time or part-time paid employee of a Pacifica Foundation radio station, or (2) any unpaid worker or volunteer or non-paid staff member of a Foundation radio station who has worked for any Pacificasaid radio station at least 30 hours in the preceding 3 months or at least 30 hours in the preceding year. (FOOTNOTE: Number of volunteer hours worked will be readdressed at a later time.)

SECTION 2. TERM.
A membership term shall be for a period of twelve (12) months. For purposes of calculation, for Listener-Sponsor Members, the 12-month period shall be calculated from that date on which: (A) said Member contributed a minimum of $25 to any Foundation radio station (or such other minimum amount as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time); or (B) said Member volunteered a minimum of 3 hours of service to a Foundation radio station. For purposes of calculation for non-employee Staff Members, said Member’s membership term shall be for a period of 12 months from that date on which s/he volunteered a minimum of 30 hours in a 3-month period. In the case of a Staff Member that is a non-management employee of the Foundation or a Foundation radio station, said Member’s membership term shall be for a period of 12 months from that date which is thirty (30) days after their employment with said radio station commences, provided however that if that Staff Member’s employment with said local station board should terminate, or if said Staff Member begins a management position with the Foundation or a Foundation radio station, then said Staff Member’s membership shall automatically terminate. Membership terms shall be considered "rolling," and calculated forward from the last date of a Member’s qualifying act. For example, if a Listener-Sponsor Member makes a $25 contribution on January 1, 2003 and does not make any additional contribution nor volunteers at least 3 hours within the following 12-month period, said Member’s membership will expire on December 31, 2003. If, however, in the same example, said Member contributes at least $25 on August 1, 2003, or volunteers for at least 3 hours, then his/her membership will not expire until July 31, 2004, provided no additional contribution or volunteer time is made after the August 1, 2003 contribution. Additionally, the membership of Staff Member employees will automatically renew annually, provided that they are an employee of said radio station on the day after their membership term ends. Each time a Member makes a qualifying contribution of money or time, s/he shall be notified, which notification shall indicate the expiration date of said Member’s membership. Members shall receive notice of the upcoming expiration of their membership at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of their membership.

C. SECTION 3. SINGLE MEMBERSHIP AFFILIATION

Membership shall be determined by radio station area, and eEach Pacifica Foundation radio station shall maintain a register of its Listener-Sponsor Members and Staff Members and shall notify each Member on its register, as to which station area it is affiliated. In the event that a person qualifies for membership in with more than one Foundation radio station area, he or s/he shall be entitled to only one membership and shall notify the Foundation and each applicable Foundation radio station of which radio station area s/he wishes to be affiliated as a Mmember.

The Foundation is entitled to reject a ballot if the Secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes, acting in good faith, has a reasonable basis for doubt concerning the validity of the signature or the signatory's authority to sign for the Member. The Foundation and any officer or agent thereof who accepts or rejects a ballot in good faith and in accordance with the standards of this Section shall not be liable in damages to the Member for the consequences of the acceptance or rejection of his/her ballot. Action by the Foundation based on the acceptance or rejection of a ballot under this Section is valid unlesunless a court of competent jurisdiction determines otherwise.

E. VOTING; COUNTING SYSTEM – ELECTION OF DELEGATES

(1) FOR ONE VACANCY. Where there is an election for only one Delegate within a class, the following method of single transferable voting shall be used. Each ballot shall list all candidates for the position of Delegate within the given class and give each Member-voter the option of voting for one candidate or ranking them in order of preference. Votes are then allocated to each voting Member’s first, or only, choice for Delegate. If no candidate receives a sufficient number of votes to be elected, then the candidate receiving the fewest number of first choice votes is declared defeated and the ballots assigned to him/her are reallocated to those Member-voters’ second choice, if any. The candidate then receiving a sufficient number of votes, shall be declared elected. If, however, after this second count, there is still no candidate that receives a sufficient number of votes to be elected, then the next candidate with the fewest number of votes shall be declared defeated and the ballots assigned to him/her redistributed to those Member-voters’ next highest remaining choice, if any. If there is no next choice, that Member-voter’s ballot is declared exhausted and set aside. This process of declaring defeated the candidate having the lowest number of votes after each count and of transferring their ballots to the voters next choice of those candidates that have not yet been declared defeated continues until a candidate receives a majority of the votes cast, or is the only remaining candidate, in either event s/he is elected. In the event of a tie, the candidate w/the greatest number of the votes is elected

(2) FOR MORE THAN ONE VACANCY. Where there is an election for more than one Delegate within a class, the following manner of single transferable ballot shall be used. Each ballot shall list all candidates for the position of Delegate within a given class and give each Member-voter the option of voting for one candidate or ranking the candidates in order of preference. Prior to counting the ballots, a quota that will serve as the threshold number of votes a candidate needs to be elected shall first be established. The quota shall be that number which is equal to the total number of votes-ballots cast plus one divided by the number of offices to be filled plus one (total number of ballots cast+1/the number of vacant seats+1). Once the quota has been established, the ballots should be counted. Votes are first allocated to each voting Member’s first, or only, choice for Delegate. Any candidate who has more first preference, or only, choice votes than the quota is immediately elected. If no candidates or any insufficient number of candidates have achieved the quota, the candidate with the lowest number of first preferences is eliminated and the ballots assigned to him/her are reallocated to those Member-voters’ second choice, if any. At the same time, the surplus votes of the elected candidate(s) (i.e. all the votes s/he received above the quota) are redistributed according to the second preferences on the ballots of those Member-voters’ who chose said candidate as their first choice. For fairness, all said candidate’s votes are redistributed, but each at a fractional percentage of one vote, so that the total redistributed vote equals the candidate’s surplus. For example, if the candidate had 100 votes and the quota was 90, then s/he had a surplus of 10:. t That candidate’s surplus would be redistributed to the next candidate of choice for those Member-voters who voted for him/her at the rate of 1/10^th of a vote. This process continues until all vacant seats are filled. In the event of a tie, the candidate with the greatest number of votes is elected.
