Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!  

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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The vote to see if the thing actually flies is Friday, noon, board time, and the voting runs for t memfault days. It's in erin's hands after that.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Um - who gets the email, will there be a post in press when everything's ready, or what?

After the vote (tight race, huh?) I think the ballot system will be altered to work as the opt in system which will go to erinaceous. I'm also guessing that will be posted in press.

One day I'm actually going to remember the details.

Which reminds me -- did we put up the page for the neurologically hampered (read: me) to outline the process/results?

We put a draft up somewhere, and solicited comments, and then something else incredibly important must've come up because we forgot all about it.

Ahhh, here it is.

Did I ask about copyright? I assume copyright remains with the poster, with the caveat that use has been granted to the corpus?

Yes, you're not assigning copyright -- just giving permission to use. Good question, though!

Do you need the NotAmericans to identify for post-stripping purposes, although I guess if we don't opt-in then we won't get in the way.

For ANC purposes, you're American if you 1) consider yourself a speaker of American English 2) if you aren't a native speaker of Am. English, you have lived in the U.S./Canada for more than ten years.

It would be good if those who consider themselves UnAmerican didn't opt in, yes. We don't have a rigid screening algorithm as yet!
