msbelle, FWIW, when you go to draft the final ballot, I'm all for resolving as much as possible now. You can do it by breaking down separate voteable parts.

Like:

Part 1: [procedure proposal A-F]
___ Yes, implement this; ___No, go back to the drawing board

Part 2: [How long the points last on your Buffista license]
___ 6 months; ___ 2 months

Part 3: [whatever I'm forgetting]

Seven in one blow, you know? Moving as much as we can along as quickly and in as orderly fashion as possible.

I think it is 4 days for discussion (that means until 4/18 at 11:59 pm ET) and 3 days for voting (that means from 4/19 at midnight ET to 4/22 at midnight).

If this is wrong, please let me know so I can edit Press.

I'm proposing myself a raise, a boyfriend, and healing powers. damn straight.

msbelle, while you're at it, I'd like a really hot chauffeur to drive me places whenever I want, and a big bag of money, 'kay?

Nutty,

I think the problem is, that is not what I proposed. The way I understand it, and I am open to input here, is that some one proposes something in Bureau. People second that. It comes here so people can debate the pros and cons of it as a proposal. I think adding things like time that a warning is active and steps from warning to suspension alter the proposal beyond what was posted.

I regret now that I did not cover all issues in my original post. I am really all for just taking over, but I don't think that is what is what the board will tolerate.

I think that what we decided was that the original proposer can modify the proposal. That way things brought up in here can get in, but we don't have to try to get the group to agree on how to word it.

I agree with Hil. I think you can modify, but I'd rather you didn't. Doesn't mean you can't.

I have no comment on msbelle's pants.

However, I like the proposal.

I'mk not sure if we're talking length of time or not. If we ARE, I favor 6 months after a warning and then clean slate. I also favor 10 Buffistas who are offended.

If we are NOT talking length of time yet, or number of Buffistas, then ignore the preceding paragraph.

But my stance is firm on msbelle's pants.

You're getting footprints on them Steph! Besides, you shouldn't be standing. You should be resting.

get offa my pants!

Heather, would you be against the time period thing even if it was worded as 6 months or 2 months? I tend to draft things in a yes/no set-up, but time period could be a choice. ONLY a choice of 2 things though - do not get me started.

I am lying on my stomach. But I am not lying about being in favor of the proposal. (Man, that was cheesy.)

What IS the next step, after we vote on this proposal? Do we vote on a length of time for the warning to be in effect? Or do we draft the wording of the Official Warning?
