D079 Nominations for President and Vice President of the House of Deputies
The offices of President and Vice President of the House of Deputies are the only offices elected at General Convention for which no nominating committee or process is provided. This leaves nominations to individual discernment and informal processes of encouragement. A formal structure of nomination would provide clarity about qualifications for both offices and would allow for a transparent process of discernment and election.
