And then the next post should be the next proposal. I like it! It's tidy.

Here is a formal proposal for the next vote (assuming it gets four seconds).
All decisions made within the last three months are subject to a waiting period before being reopened. This waiting period shall be the standard Buffista post-vote waiting period, and shall begin from the passage of this proposal. (--Betsy HP)
Seconds (note, only four are required, more were made, and so are included here):

The discussion that inspired the proposal began at least a thousand posts prior to this very one, if anyone wants to see how it came about.

The wording on that looks perfect to me. Anybody see emendations that are needed?
"A positive decision is assumed to have been made if it was put into effect; a negative decision is assumed to have been made if an idea was discussed and dropped."

Oh - was Anne W. working up a list of specific decisions? Do we want or need to wait for her to finish, or should we just go ahead with the blanket statement?

It looks good, but I think any emendation suggestions should wait until it's in discussion right?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Someone, I forget who (Anne maybe?), was going to make a list of all the decisions we've made. That list should definitely be appended. t edit x-post w/ Brenda.
Also, do we want to say "shall begin from the passage of this proposal" or "shall begin from the time the decision was made or idea was dropped"? With the former, assuming the current ballot passes, there will be things that we won't be reconsidering until 9 months after the initial decision. Which may be fine -- I don't have a strong opinion either way.

I cannot express enough how helpful this list would be for this issue.
