I vote for leaving item 4 off for the time being.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I vote for #1 on #4.

I thought so too. And for that reason, I think posting of the motion/ballot needs to happen at the last possible moment.
Perhaps an APB now saying more like "The discussion is going on; come read it while you can, and look for the final motion just before midnight in Press."?
I'm sorry, I just have to repeat this becuase I feel really strongly about it. If Cindy isn't around to post at 11:59, I can volunteer to.

Agreed.
Cindy, I think the best thing to do with #4 at this point would be to add a note that we will vote later on whether discussions end on day 4 or continue during the votes.

Wow, I'm....overwhelmed by all the discussion and procedures. Not necessarily in a bad way, but...wow.
So, no voting yet? Cause it's not Wednesday yet?

Cindy probably isn't going to be around much after 5, although I was going to make an escape around 6, if we thought we were ready to post it then.
For the record, I don't think we need to stop this discussion this time, and so I don't think that we really need to wait that late to post it, unless we have reason to. Really, if jen gets a ballot at 10pm tonight, is it going to make things corrupt or dirty? No.

ita - although your feeling is to go with option one, how would you feel if we left it off until we could develop the *gag* discussion discussion some more?

I don't think she should count a ballot that comes in at 10 pm. We said the voting would open at midnight. To me, that means the voting opens at midnight. discussion on the motin continues until we vote, therefore, the vote shouldn't be announced before-hand. What if someone comes up with a really good point at 11 pm. if we wanted to start voting at 5pm, we should have said so.
I am not sure why I feel so strongly about this, but it sort of smacks of just a few people making decisions, which is what we are trying to get away from. I don't want to take away anything from your hard work and effort, Cindy-- it is a great motion and I don't think there will be any changes.
