A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

All this pseudo-political, bureaucratic discussion is really difficult to follow since everyone has their own opinions and suggestions.
I agree with Sue that if we aren't careful, we're going to suck the fun right out of this place. I guess since our raison d'etre is up in the air, we have to have something to talk about, however, since I work in a Bureaucracy, I don't want to play in one too.
I'll go with whatever people decide, unless you decide to ban all Canadians, which I come down solidly against.
Have fun.

I don't see why not -- anyone registered should be eligible.
having results posted there and in Press once the vote is complete.
I'd like to also see a web page listing closed decisions, because people might not think to go back several months in Press to see if their proposal has been discussed already.
I think we have two threads right now (bureaucracy and Press) which serve similart purposes, that would suit the decision making process we are contemplating.
I really like the idea of having a discussion thread separate from Bureaucracy so that other bureaucratic issues don't get lost in the of the Big Debate Du Semaine (or should that be "de la"?).
For additional clarity, we could change the thread slug to reflect whatever it is we're discussing at the moment.

De la. And I think I agree with this, but I also worry that things are getting a bit over-bureaucratized, but I'm not entirely sure that something less formal would neccesarily be a better idea.
I think our lack of formality is being our undoing, personally. For Big Decisions, a little formality isn't so bad. There won't be that many of them, and we are still Buffistas -- I mean, I don't think anyone's going to get yelled at for being slightly casual within our newly-formal framework.
