- I will set up a website named KalonTripa.org, inviting all Tibetans in the Diaspora to put forth the names of those they believe would make the best candidate for the next Kalon Tripa.
- The KalonTripa.org website will be opened in October 2008. Name recognition is necessary in all elections. Three years is not too early to start. New candidates need this time to effectively present their platform, and address various key issues. Constituents need this time in order to get to know the candidates, and seize their message.
- Any Tibetan, who is over 18 years of age and a current Green Book holder, may submit a nomination on-line, or by completing a paper nomination form.
- The paper nomination form may also include endorsement forms. Both forms may be completed in English or Tibetan.
- Forms and instructions are all available at kalontripa.org/nominate.html.
- The website will present a photo and brief bio of all nominees and candidates. Once a nominee is supported by 25 individuals, he/she will automatically become a candidate.
- Once there are a few nominees on the website, Tibetan TV, radio and print media would be encouraged to begin interviews, introducing the candidates. A televised debate, to be held in Dharamsala close to election time, is also planned.
- The website will be closed a few months before the Tibetan Election Commission sends out its circular, announcing the official election nominations for the next Kalon Tripa.
