Does anybody have a change they want made to the proposal? If not, we are niggling again over issues nobody has a stake in.
Speak now. Unless somebody offers a change to the proposal, I request a vote tonight.
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

How about this: we could open up voting tonight, and just keep it open until the end of seven day discussion-plus-voting timeline. Opening up the vote tomorrow night seems like bad timing anyway.
Due to the lack of objections to Betsy's post above, I'm assuming that voting starts tonight at midnight. The ballot is ready to go. We need a vote counter.
I'm not sure if there is someone in the queue for counting Jon, but I can do it again if no one else wants the task. Profile addy good.
ita needs to set you up, not me. She makes it so that "votes@..." goes to your address.
S'alright. ita - send them my way and count I will.
wrong thread - dammit
Laura, I can do it if you don't want to count again.
For what it's worth (which is probably not much), I'm going to vote against the grandfather clause.
Basically, I don't think the chance of someone bringing something up for a vote that we have truly decided (e.g., a politics thread) is as great as the chance that, over the next six months, we'll want to change something and it will turn out we can't, because five people posted about it at 4 a.m. on a Sunday in the middle of a heated argument about something else.
If I had a complete list of issues, my mind might be put at rest; without one, I don't want to risk the chance that this vote will seal something that wasn't really fully discussed, or that we'll want very much in a few months.
I still don't understand the grandfathering clause and I'm not sure which vote (yes or no) would be voting against it so I have no idea how I'm going to vote.
