I suspect we all took a sort of break, to recharge our bureau batteries, which may be why the delay. I tend to think we should run Betsy's first, if she can put it up today (it already had seconds; you know, I think I was one of them), and my apologies to Allyson.
Allyson, all, how would you all feel about a multi-item ballot, including the Minear Thread Proposal, and several thread-consolidaiton and/or future thread planning proposals? Because, I mean, I can see there's a groundswell for the Minear idea, and that's nice, but I'd sort of like to look at all the threads/thread ideas in context, amd make sure we don't duplicate efforts or tie outrselves into knots.
If that steps on people's toes, I'm perfectly willing to wait after Minear Thread has been discussed and voted on; but, you know, I also like the idea of many birds with one stone.
Also, thinking ahead, I wonder if some of this voting will fall into the people-absent-from-boards-due-to-F2F period, since I keep hearing about people arriving in LA like Wednesday. Er, lessee -- We can complete one week discuss/vote by the 23rd, and have that done; but should the second one have, say, an extended voting period, or extended talk period, to give equal yammering time to the F2Fers?
You're right that this proposal, like the war thread, is pretty nearly moot.
Okay, I didn't know there was a real proposal floating around on grandfathering. Never mind me.
But can I be obnoxious and ask why an all Tim, all the time thread? One of the things I've always liked about this place is that we discuss shows, not personalities -- we've never had an Alyson Hannigan or Marti Noxon thread. I appreciate that Tim posting here makes it a special case, but wouldn't a Wonder Falls thread also honor him and be more in keeping with our pattern?
There's a six month moratorium on stuff we've already decided, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away? What does that mean? Someone can propose that we rename the Phoenix, "Allyson's Diner?"
Oy. I'm going to get a piece of paper signed by too many people. And then I'm going to have some tea.
And I think a multi-item ballot would be excellent.
Also agreeing to a multi-item ballot.

This is basically my position, but I'll wait until we get to actual discussion to expand.
I don't care which one we do first, but I'd rather not see them grouped together since they're really not related.
Not meaning to shut you out, Lyra Jane, but I think that your concerns should go in lightbulbs when it opens, since the proposal received all of its secondsies.
Nutty, ita, I'm cool with whichever way people want to do things, I suppose. I'm leaning more towards ita's opinion, because it's easier to focus on one thing at a time.
But can I be obnoxious and ask why an all Tim, all the time thread?
LJ, no offense, but that question should wait for discussion. Allyson's gotten the four seconds and to debate the proposal's appropriateness here is contrary to the purpose of the discussion thread.
ETA: total xpost with brenda and allyson

I don't think any of us need to go there. This way lies madness and despair.
