I disagree about giving it more time than the alloted 4 days it has already received, in part because we've discussed to death.
Connie, if there is more discussion, do you anticipate that it will change the ballot in any way?

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.

Not really, it's a straightforward proposal: Network Drama thread, yes or no.
They're asking for a delay in voting so they can mull the expected poll data. I don't think anyone's minds are going to be changed by the data, but I'll consider the idea if a firm deadline is accepted. Me, I'm willing to go with the vote now and let the chips fall. But I'm told being amenable to compromise is gracious.
I'm sorry, but if it goes up for discussion again, it will just go nowhere. IMHO. Based on watching the same thing happening over and over.
I want to propose a Comedy thread also. (But not yet, obviously).
What do you mean by nowhere? It will go to a vote if connie wants it. That's the only place it has to go.
You don't have to get value out of the discussion. It's primarily for connie and her proposition.
The proposal has had the four days of discussion. Under our rules, it's time for a vote. And there may be other proposals that are also being delayed.
But I'll defer to Connie. If she's willing to wait longer, I won't quarrel.
I can see the point of waiting until Monday. This board is pretty dead on the weekends.
msbelle, Sean, Hec, and askye,
Could we please see the poll results to date? I'd like to see them, before I vote on Connie's proposal, but I don't want to ask Connie to wait again.
It hasn't been up a full week as we promised. I do not want people to start screaming foul.
It is up to Connie if she wants to wait or not for the results, and up to each person how they want to vote, should she want to do it now.
I am a bit perplexed why what other people think about board issues would affect the way anyone votes. A vote should reflect what the poll will show, if people vote consistently.

I guess, if you assume nobody around here votes anything other than their own "what's best for me" preference. But I don't think that's really the case.
Maybe we can start the vote on Friday, or some other set time? I'm one of those who'd like to see the results, but I don't want the vote to be put off open-endedly.
Voting is supposed to open tomorrow and be up for three days, right? Tomorrow is the 14th, poll results are supposed to come out on the 15th. People could just wait to vote, if that's what they want.
