Jon, Jesse, thank you for every nice thing you've said. The Buffistas are an unfailing good group of people to know. I just want everyone to be happy.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Okay, having just now read about 100 or so of 400 posts:
I am very much with Liese. Why is voting only open for two days? What's the rush? I'm also finding the formalization ugly and, as Hec said, "bogging down." But my biggest concern is that hundreds of Buffistas have no idea what the fancy new voting procedure is. So is there any plan to announce that too?

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

We don't have a fancy new voting procedure yet -- that's what the first vote is on. But the one thing everyone's agreed on so far is that everything -- issues, votes, voting instructions for those votes -- will get announced in Press, no matter what things we decide for or against.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
do we want to wait for Jon, or announce now what the ballot would be like.
Don't wait for me. If I get to it, I'll announce it.

Isn't that what we're voting on? t edit Amy said it better

So, um, HOW are we voting? In here? Via Mr Poll? Or through some new email system? Or was the vote planned before there was a means for tallying it?

Where are you getting this? I thought it was four full days -- all day Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

I'm not sure what you mean. There have been links to this discussion in Sunnydale Press. What sort of announcement would you like?

It is my understanding from cindy's proposal that we are first to decide IF we want to vote (by vote, so it is sort of silly) before decideing the procedure and/or what we will vote on.
The discussion was announced in Press, as was Cindy's proposal. The procedure for this vote right now is email, but I don't think the mothod is worked out yet (see Jon's post).
I do share Burrell's concern with the 2 day voting period. Perhaps we should make it longer.
Also, I fear that people don't read press. Although it was created to keep people from cross-posting in 8 billion threads, perhaps we need to educate some of the new posters that Press exists by posting about it in show threads? I don't know how else to do it.

So I misread? I thought Cindy's post said Midnight Wednesday to Midnight Friday.

We're both wrong, Burrell -- it's three (Weds., Thurs., and Fri.). The days are midnight to midnight, EST.

Burrell, for this vote, everybody is sending emails to vote@buffistas.org and I'm countin' 'em by hand. Once it is determined (or not, I guess) that voting is how we want to make our decisions, fancier and schmancier balloting procedures will be designed.
