Should lurkers get votes?
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Should lurkers get votes?
I don't see why not -- anyone registered should be eligible.

Up with the sun
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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
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.

Decision making is never fun, and when it gets annoying I just step out. It's important and not so important all at the same time.
I just want to see a procedure laid out so there's less to complain about when I do participate.
