I didn't see anyone!

OK- it is actually still not clear! I made the proposal about the moratorium, and I don't know the answer.

Also, Jon, do you post in press, or the proposer? It looks like the proposer posts the hear ye, hear ye.

ETA: I can't read too much of the discussion because I swear I get flashbacks. I have never talked so much in my entire life.

I don't know what was originally decided via our initial votes and discussions, but here's what's been happening in practice:

• After getting the required secondses, a Stompy opens Lightbulbs and also posts to Press.

• Near the end of the 4 day discussion period, if the proposer hasn't clearly posted final wording for the proposal, I will nudge them to do so in Lightbulbs.

• At the end of the 4 day discussion period, I set up a web ballot and make a post in Press containing a one sentence summary of the issue along with a link to the ballot and the Lightbulbs discussion. Here is an example.

• The one time we did not reach 42 votes (Pix's F2F scheduling calendar thingie), we decided that she'd have to wait 6 months before she could re-propose.

My admittedly vague memory was that the vote over "No Preference" was instigated by proposals being passed because they reached the 42 vote quorum, but the majority of those votes were No Preference, so it would pass with 6 Yes votes or some such.

My understanding is that anything that goes to a vote falls under the 6 month moratorium.

I think we should go with this, but we should note that the cheesebutt document says "There is currently a moratorium in place on re-proposing proposals which have already been discussed and voted down.", so we should theoretically change that.

My understanding was that if it doesn't go to a vote, there's no moratorium.

My admittedly vague memory was that the vote over "No Preference" was instigated by proposals being passed because they reached the 42 vote quorum, but the majority of those votes were No Preference, so it would pass with 6 Yes votes or some such.

No, that never happened. Every vote we had up to that point would have reached quorum even if the NP's were ignored, although a couple of the "downballot" questions might not have. There was a concern that your scenario *could* happen, but it never did.

Why do I remember crap like this, but keep forgetting to pick up the farmshare every week?

Yep. That sums it up.

Oh crap, that's today. Thanks Jon!
