Spike ,'Get It Done'
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!
Exactly why having no preference votes count toward MVT was a terrible decision.
Well, this way you have a choice. If you have no strong opinion, but want the issue to be decided, you vote "no preference". If you don't want the issue decided, you don't vote. If NP votes didn't count towards the MVT, you wouldn't have that option.
Let us have a non-voting party!
I like this sensible idea.
I think it would be nifty if we got 42 votes.

Hang on, I'll put this in Press.
I don't know where the votes are going. I sent a test email and it didn't come to me. Brenda also volunteered, but they could still be going to the last counter.
ita! Has votes been directed to a vote counter?
also, insent to ita
OK, I am getting votes now. If you voted early and are unsure if I got it either send me a note or vote again. Don't worry, I won't count twice!
Stompy, is it thread closing time?
Laura, did you get mine?
No Betsy. The first vote after ita forwarded to me was at 12:55PM EDT
Not having had much luck with trying to explain things in the past - I'm going to take a shot at explaining Betsy's proposal to people who are still confused.
Basically it is a motion to close discussion (for a time) on issues that were settled before our current process was in place.
Voting yes closes discussion (for a time) on issues that otherwise could be brought up.
Voting no leaves things as they are - meaning they can continue to be brought up and voted on at any time if enough seconds are obtained.
