Re: Perkins at #4677
Drew's proposal to Kristin was also unanimous, but it sort of had to be. It should still count, though.

I'm pretty sure that one met quorum.
I'm pretty sure Thomas was talking about the unanimity. Perkins' post doesn't mention quorum.
Ah, right.
If that one didn't make quorum there would have been a real problem.
megan- I just send some additions (simplified from the cheesbutt) to your profile address.
I have to chime in and say that I'm very invested in making it to the next F2F, and I thought it was a great proposal and fully intended to vote yes, and then... completely spaced like an idiot.
does it qualify for a BS consensus then?
No. That's why we sweated out our rules.
It`s fine. We were going to be late this year anyway, so we can pimp and plan as usual. The moratorium is only six months, right, so if people still feel strongly about it, it can be re-proposed in plenty of time for next year.
I know it probably doesn`t feel like it now, but having a proposal fail to meet quorum may be a
good
thing. It means we`ve set the number correctly (for a while I thought it was too low, despite the sheer perfection of the number itself) and it`s a good reminder for people to participate in our civic process. We can revisit this topic later, after time has passed, as intended by the system we worked out. It`s not a bad thing, inherently, even for this particular proposal.
