CZ:Nomination page/Management Council/Joe Quick

I joined Citizendium a little before the public launch and have been involved to a greater or lesser extent ever since. I was a member of the Executive Committee (which was an advisory body to the Editor in Chief) until the recent ratification of the Charter made that committee obsolete. I also served as Approvals Manager, a role in which I tried out a variety of strategies to encourage the approval of Citizendium's best articles and one in which I think I have gained a great deal of insight into parts of the editorial process here at Citizendium. I also proposed the Charter drafting committee and then chaired it, though I am very glad to say that the work and leadership of that committee was very much a collective effort.

I'd be very honored to be elected to the Management Council. My greatest skills are not logisitical, which is an area in which I think the Management Council should be very strong, but I do think I would be very good with recruiting and encouraging contributors to the project. I'm very good at coming up with ideas, but I rely on the work of others to help me pull things off, so I would champion a very dynamic Management Council if I were elected.
