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.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I can see the point of waiting until Monday. This board is pretty dead on the weekends.

What is even happening?
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

That's the way I'm leaning. It shouldn't take long to absorb what the poll is saying, in regards to an individual's vote.

FYI, the poll went up on 8/7 at 7:49am Board Time, so 1 week will be tomorrow at the same time. I will be unavailable. SO! unless people are opposed, I'd like to go ahead and shut it down.
I'd also just like to make the results available to the whole board, including open text answers. Now some people signed their answers and I want to make sure it is ok with people to make all of that open.
Thoughts?

Our wings are not tired.
I assume that there has not been a huge number of responses last minute? It is likely you have all the responses. My open text was not signed so I got nothin' there.

2 responses today, and I was one of them. 4 yesterday.
eta - or lesss than 4 % of total respondants, so no, not a rush.
