Can I just confirm that discussion will go until 12:01 am Sunday, board time, at which point voting will start and go until 11:59 pm Tuesday, board time?
Sunnydale's got too many demons and not enough retail outlets.

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Um-- I am actually just the secretary of the proposal Gar.
I think that can come up during formal discussion if people want to change it.

Yeah, I believe the discussion period includes potential changes to the proposal.

I have gathered the impression that 'the median' in English parlance is 'the central reservation.'
Not in any England I know.

OK, I'm going to press.

Our wings are not tired.
Thanks Jesse. I think I better work for a while. I'll be back to convince everyone to vote my way later.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
One other nitpick - It doesn't mention anywhere in the proposal that we'll use the average. We should add a note that the "winning" numbers will be the average of all numbers entered into each box.

OK, now that we're Actually Discussing this, I'd like to suggest that we total all the numbers for each question and divide by the number of votes.
;)

My Actually Discussing comment is that I think we need to specify that while an abstention may count toward the "number of votes needed" that it shouldn't count toward the percentage needed for a majority.
I think that is what we mean.
