Actually, it would be helpful if some of the people who are especially concerned about resource issues could weigh in on whether either or both of these clauses are helpful or not. If they are, I'm happy to go with adding either one.
Bester: Mal. Whaddya need two mechanics for? Mal: I really don't.

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!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm generally concerned about resource issues, but am really against a last-in, first-out addition to the proposal -- maybe the Book Club thread will be the most amazing thing to ever happen to Buffistas and 90% of us would agree to get rid of the Buffy thread before we get rid of Book Club. I exaggerate for effect.

What is even happening?
How about some kind of pact that we don't claim "sub-community status" if and/or when the board has to go through consolidation. That wouldn't put the thread first on the chopping block, but at some point, this sub-community thing has got to give (and I say that, realizing the only other threads I still post in regularly, are sub-communities).

I'm on the side of "no clauses, and we won't be pissy if we're told we're a drain on resources." Or, yeah, if we adversely impact on resources, I think we're big enough to let it go. Though I reserve the right to pout.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Do we have someone to count votes? (I think Nilly volunteered somewhere upthread.)
She did.
ita - can you make sure votes@... points to her?
When does voting start? (Due to my own personal responsibilities, my final draft of the proposal will be posted no later than 3:00 P.m. EST/12:00 p.m. board time.) So as far as I'm concerned the ballot can be set up anytime after that.
I'll be busy at that time, but should be able to get a ballot up a few hours after that, say by 10PM EDT, 7PM board time.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Who's on third.
Huh is all I had to say after reading some 400+ messages in this thread. I was being laconic.
