As most of you know, I have been doing a lot of behind the scenes ProFSL work to improve the community, add to the organization, and others have helped by taking over administration of my leagues. Franchise GM is a stellar league that I have ran for three years. It has been my most enjoyable league of any, free or pay, and has been a primary reason why my commissioner activity in my basic leagues has dwindled a bit. Still, being the commissioner of this league involves handling many PMs with questions on FA, trades, deadlines, scoring, waivers, draft, and rules. Many decisions have to be made on rule changes, transaction settlements, and turnover. More and more, with my involvement at making ProFSL much more than a band of advanced leagues, my response time in FGM has become a longer wait. I want to hand off the Commissioner title and responsibilities of organizing the league and making executive decisions, to a veteran member of the league. This would be effective as of the 2011-12 offseason. Please apply here. Thank you.

i would like to nominate Corey he has been extremely helpful with everything since inviting me here.

Colby,
Will you choose your successor or will a nominee be selected by a league-wide vote?

A league-wide vote seems reasonable. Do you have interest Roy?
-
My vote goes to Corey as well. :judge:

We are looking to get plenty off of Corey's plate too as he is heavily involved in the administration of many leagues and recruiting.

I am content with my role on the RC, but I will give it more thought and apply if I change my mind.

Thanks guys for the votes. However, this is not something that I have time for. FGM is probably the best league I have been apart of. I wouldnt be able to give it its full justice. However I would like to nominate Dan Wood.

Based on activity, understanding of the rules, involvement in the league, and tenure, the following members make the most sense.
- rcankosy :TEX:
- Paul S. :STL:
- Dan Wood :CIN:
- MillerTime :OAK:

no offense to the others but my vote is for Dan since corey isnt going to do it i have asked dan many questions and he has been extremely helpful!
-
My mind immediately jumped to either Dan or Rob, both of whom I would strongly support.

Ben, not to disrespect you, or anyone else, but I know you don't have the time on your plate at this time or else you would be a great candidate. Please let me know if you would like to be considered.

I will gladly accept taking over the Commish seat again...so long as everyone is in agreement.

You were on the EC before... this is the commish role which take care of all executive decisions, turnover, profile fields, league history, allstar voting, etc...

Sad to see you step down Colby, you were doing such a good job. Dan/Rob/Ben are all good choices and the league should be in good hands either way.

I would not have the time to commit... my free time comes in spurts, but not consistently throughout the year.

Dunno if I have time for all that with a kid on the way... would be more than happy to do most of that... I would be more than willing to be a consistent executive figure. I think (as I have noticed in the draft) there isn't a definite hierarchy. There is you, then everyone else. I think the commish's prime duties are to keep the league moving forward in a fair and straight forward manner. I'm not to sure I would want the tasks of profile fields (dunno what that is), league history, and the etc...executive decisions, turnover, and so on I am all well and good with.

If not for a minimal understanding of the best movie ever made (Major League) and the fact he once threw at his own kid at a father-son game, Dan Wood would (how much wood would a...) make a fine commish.....All kidding aside, the league will be in great hands with any of the above-mentioned candidates, but since Dan stepped to the dish first, he has my vote :winner:
-
Mike you also left out that I lead the league in most offensive categories, including nose hair.

can it not be a team committee that runs the league?

It very well can be, but ultimately there has to be a leader of executive decisions and order.

Not sure how much my opinion counts but my vote for Commish would be for Millertime. As he was the one who really helped me get into the league and not make any bad rash moves.

Everyone,
There are several of us that have been discussing the administration moving forward here at FGM. First off, we all would like to praise Colby for the job he has done and the great league that he has set up here for the future.
We would like to propose to the league the following administration team for the coming season:
Commissioner - Dan Wood :CIN:
NL President - Paul Smithey :STL:
AL President - Rob Miller :OAK:
Accountant - Howe Cheng :LAD:
Our goal is to have people on serve in one capacity and not many, but allow for these positions to overlap to assist with taking care of the many tasks of the league. We intend to layer responsibility so that if one person can not get to something in a timely manner, it will be covered by another.
The President positions and accountant will be new. The Presidents will serve as the primary contact for managers in each league. This is for new members and for current members that would like to discuss something. The accountant will review all financial transactions prior to the processing of them. This will include new signings and trades.
Each of the members mentioned above have approved that they will serve in these positions. We now ask the league if everyone would be happy with this setup. Once we get some feedback we will discuss with Colby on how to move forward.
-
Rob already reached out to me about this idea and it is one that I would approve. Ultimately, the Commissioner status is one for organization. My reduced role will focus on the RC and statistic keeping. For instance, ensuring realism of records, prorating them if necessary, and adding the story of the year for each franchise. I am doing that over the next two weeks and have done it for the top teams in the playoffs outside the Jays/Dodgers.

All of these proposed changes seem very exciting and figure to make an already strong league even stronger :thumbsup:
