Hold tight. Sophia and/or Cindy will write it, and then Jon will code it, but they're unable to do so until later today.

'The Message'
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!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So, um, what's happening with the vote? Vote goes forward tonight at midnight EST with Cindy's new wording?
That's it. Plus agreement not to craft the ballot here, but the proposer words it, and then has the option to revise it after discussion before it is put up for vote. Much better all the way around I think. That way there's no need to consense on the ballot, but just discussion on its merits, proposals to improve it and the vote itself.
Okay. okay. muttermutter...

I read that part, Hec. Thanks. Makes sense to me, says the girl who will never ever propose something to be taken to vote EVER.

Not even the baby's name? Surely you can't be trusted with that yourself. What if Mr. Muttonchops wants to name the baby Furbellow Burrell? And in a fit of pique you decide the baby may only be named One Day In The Life of Ivan Denisovich Burrell? Surely you'd want a preferential ballot, and the input of Buffistas arguing for Lilo Burrell and Go14 Burrell. And when beautiful little No Preference Burrell was nestled in your arms and you looked up into Mr. Burrell's eyes you'd know the best possible choice had been made.

AARRGH!
Besides we all know what her name would be if it came to a Buffista vote -- Monkey Pants.

I am working on the proposal now.
As long as we're modifying things, can I ask if we can have our days of voting this time start at 9pm EST? It isn't very round, but I don't think I can stay up until 12 to post the thing?

Makes sense to have a voting time that works for the East Coast too. I have no problem with going from 9pm to 9pm.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
9PM is ok with me. I should have the ballot ready in time.
What were we going to use for Cindy's informal question 2? The "more than 6 months/less than 6 months" doesn't seem very useful to me. I think that if 6 doesn't win, I'm sure that it will be because folks want it shorter, not longer. Were we going to use the "pick a number from 1 to 12" idea (or whatever the range was)?

Actually I like the midnight deadline. But I don't think there'd be much objection to the ballot starting at 9 pm and going until midnight of the third day. I think we did that for the discussion too.
