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!

We will need final wording from Tom by midday tomorrow.

Nilly offered to count votes, so that's set.

I like June 1 for Heroes and July 1 for Lost. Might I suggest that the proposal have two questions? e.g., "The Heroes thread should be closed on June 1, 2010" and "The Lost thread should be closed on July 1, 2010".

Errr... Is Scola around? We should have started the voting by now but I need final wording.

Give me a couple of hours; I'm kind of swamped at work.

No worries, Tom. I don't think we'll have a constitutional crisis if the voting starts a few hours late.

Oh, shit. I totally spaced in this. Sorry.

What Jon said:

"Should we:

a) Close the Heroes thread on June 1?

b) Close the Lost thread on July 1?"

Is that OK?

That's fine. I'll get the ballot up in a few moments.

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

From Pix:

November will be pimp-n-post phase for the coming year's F2F. During each November, people may propose a location in the appropriate region of the country based on our normal rotation, pimp its fine qualities, research possible venues for hotel rooms/prom (preferably the same venue for both or within walking distance), and suggest up to two possible dates in spring/summer for our official annual F2F. The date(s) for each location are completely up to the pimp-er's discretion.

At the beginning of December, we will vote on the proposed location/date combo. If the pimper offered more than one possible date, we will hold a second vote to pick a final date for the winner. Once the date and venue has been set, the pimp-er will book the hotel so we can begin the process of raising the necessary money and making necessary investments in tickets, corsets, and sparkly tiaras.
