Oops - with things a bit all over the place I've posted the below previously in the Emergency thread.
Once the constitution is hashed out (by the 'emergency' pannel pls see emergency thread accordingly if you haven't done so yet) and can be presented to the members.. how long will that discussion be allowed to run? How long will the final determining poll be allowed to run?
How do you see us handling that and the handling of any other, future policiy decision poll?
I said in the announcement I feel that any polls that affect major policy of this board should be allowed to run for more than 11 days (2 for discussion, 9 for the poll). I just feel they perhaps need more time. How much more? I'd suggest minimum 2 full weeks (poll closes on the 15th day). If a member realizes by having followed the discussion that he/she will be absent during the entire time of the polls running (easter/summer holidays etc.) and cannot post, that person has the right to contact another participating member and that member can post the absentee's vote in the poll thread
but only if the absentee has made the wish to do so known in the discussion thread previously.
Each member can only vote once in every poll (board settings we cannot change) so that would be the only solution really if someone really is concerned. The threadowner would have to keep track and tally up accordingly.
Does that make sense? Or do we just take an excecutive decision formed by the 'emergency' panel?
In any case, I think (sorry Ax) this poll needs re-doing
You know, I really hate 'interfering' with other people's stuff. I really do! But in this case I'll edit out the poll for it's just confusing and let Ax make a new one.
And just for the record... this poll was (before I killed it)
What should the deadline be for getting our act together, rule-wise, so we can move on?
Before April 1 6% [ 1 ]
April 1--so appropos somehow 80% [ 12 ]
After April 1 (but surely not long after) 13% [ 2 ]
Total Votes : 15
Thanks for your understanding
