Jon's modifications work for me. We'll need a brief and simple (hah) explanation of Austrailian Rules Voting to attach, though.
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

Heh. And some folks thought a preferential ballot would be complicated?
I'm trying to uncomplicate it by allowing everyone to post a number without artificially skewing the results. Then we can argue about how to interpret the numbers (although my gut sense with no way of backing this up is that after the vote it will be fairly straightforward.)
Even if we do end up with a range, I think we still need to include a write-in option for the Quorum and Second votes so everyone's opinion gets represented fairly. And of course to give some of us a chance to vote Monkey.

I like that, Jon, but like Brendas numbers for the seconds more. I think a few people like the "10" for a "second"
Can we add item 1a.-- "So mote it be...."
After a complete round of voting, the proposal cannot be voted on again for:
a) 0 days b) 6 months c) 1 year.

I think we still need to include a write-in option for the Quorum and Second votes so everyone's opinion gets represented fairly.
I think we need to decide now, by consensus, what the range of choices should be. I'm trying to prevent multiple votes. I've suggested a range of numbers for each question. If anyone thinks that there should be more specific choices, then voice your opinion.

So 0 to 10 (eleven choices) for seconds?

0,3,5,10? I don't think we need to include every number in the range.

I know, I know. Maybe 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 as a compromise?

Also, we need to let people know whether the number is inclusive of the proposer. (I think it is pretty obvious, but...)

Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.
I think just seven choices-0,1,2,3,4,5,10.
