I still am counting 48 hours for the vote. Am I that bad at math?
Burrell, 12 a.m. Wednesday, Feb 26 to 12 a.m. Saturday, March 1. 72 hours.
That's not in Cindy's post (the one linked to in the Press) nor is it made explicit in the discussion that follows.
FWIW, Jesse posted it right after Liese's post that you referenced, when I asked the same question: Jesse "Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier" Feb 25, 2003 1:33:02 pm EST
I agree an APB this once couldn't hurt.
thanks for clarifying, ita (about the email addy).

...with a line saying "don't do APBs as a general rule, that's what Press and That Other Topic The Name Of Which I Can't Remember are for!
(Damn. Press and... eh, y'all know what I'm talking about.)
thanks for clarifying, ita (about the email addy).
I scrolled back, and it's been mistyped just about every time.
I'll go set up both addresses to point to jengod then.
I'm just leaning towards an assumption I think is efficient.
It is efficient and logical, and people really should be reading the Announcements. However, this is a massive proposal. In such cases, I'm always in favor of overannouncing.
YAMV, and I won't complain either way.
So the vote ends Sat midnight, not Friday. So my math still works, which is some comfort. I'd say 3 days is still likely to suck for people & like Liese would prefer a full week to vote. I sometimes don't check in for a couple days at a time, and I'm one of the more active members.
Also, I'm more than happy to do it if people agree on the one-time APB but don't want to be bothered.
We could make one massive Announcement for the first vote and stress that all future announcements for voting will be made in Press Only.
I think we should make an announcement now of the discussion. In that announcement we should say that the re-tooled proposal (if any re-tooling is needed) and the vote will be announced in Press, AS WILL ANY SUBSEQUENT ANNOUNCEMENTS EVER.
From the first minute of Wednesday Burrell - until the first minute of Saturday. 12 am in both cases. Midnight is technically the first minute of the morning of the next day. I don't know how else to explain it to you. Voting can take place during all 24 hours of Wednesday, all 24 hours of Thursday, and all 24 hours of Friday.
I think the post in press of the link to the proposal should probably have waited until we had the voting procedure ironed out then.
Are we not going to wait for Jon's form?
Also - am in favor of the APB this time.
