Ballot No. 32
We are voting in this thread to determine how we will present the Mission Statement to the membership for ratification.
A. Choose the first poll option if you think we should just present to the membership a yes or no poll on the text that is approved in the interim Mission Statement vote here
Edit: the approved text:
Board77 is a democratically governed internet community where members gather from around the world to cultivate friendships and engage in discussion. Our conversations cover any topic of interest to our members, from current events and philosophy to fine arts and the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. We aspire to maintain a culture of respect, equality and openness.
B. Chose the second poll option if you think we should present to the membership an IRV vote done by PM with the following choices:
1. The text approved in the interim Mission Statement vote. (edit: see above)
2. Just the first sentence of the text approved in the interim Mission Statement vote. (edit: "Board77 is a democratically governed internet community where members gather from around the world to cultivate friendships and engage in discussion.")
3. The following text: "We are a self-governing community drawn together in fellowship by a love of Tolkien and good conversation."
4. None of the above.
