So, can one, such as myself, propose that we put up the logo, vote, and then take it down if it fails and leave it up if it passes, until the strike is over?
eta:too slow.....
I agree with you, Allyson.
Well, as long as people want to vote on it, it looks like there's no bullshit consensus. But I just want to point out that we didn't vote on anything else on the front page, including our description. I think it's inaccurate and I hate a self-description that uses the word "intelligent" -- but it's not a big deal, even though that *is* something that is supposed to represent us. Like that, I don't think this matter is akin to something that affects our experience of the board, so I suggest we consense on a truncated voting/discussion period-- maybe 2/2, so it's up by Tuesday.

This seems like a good idea to me.
To me as well. Do we have to vote on that?
I'd be happy to condense the discussion period - say 24 hours? Or even go right to a vote.
In fact, I'm going to suggest that we hold voting and discussion simultaneously, with voting to start as soon as we can throw a poll page up and end at 1PM board time on Monday.
But for the larger question, this:
But if it comes up next time there's something that we obviously support as a board but doesn't include you and you don't get to use official process to object...
is a convincing argument to me for voting in the first place, despite what I said upthread.

The front page was designed and written before we had our voting rules.
Still not sure where the fire is.

I agree.
Also, if we have a smooshed voting period, can someone just count me in on a yes vote, cause I have no internets at home. (Although I could go to a library and check, I suppose)

Which is one of the reasons we have a three day voting period.
