So when is it that I can propose a thread?

The 24th or 25th, I think, unless Betsy withdraws the grandpappy proposal.

A page with all the decisions is being worked on, but not yet complete.

I'm sure I volunteered to htmlify such a page but who is compiling the text?

So when is it that I can propose a thread?

It already got the secondses, right? So right after the current vote is done, or the end of the week.

You know, I'm going along with the whole thing because I want the thread and this seems to be the only way to go about it, but I really, really can't stand this process. I haven't the patience for it.

We don't seem to be using this process for everything. F2F is almost completely planned by a couple of people, for example.

I can't imagine ever doing another charity project under these procedures, and the last couple were signed from "Buffistas."

Was there an agreement somewhere on what was eligible for voting, and what wasn't?

If you wanted to raise money for something ... it's not a board issue. it might be a Buffista thing, but not a board one. I don't think it would come even remotely near a voting procedure -- it would be yours to decide upon as you see fit.

Same with the F2F, as I see it.

I think I don't see where the line is, ita. Banning someone is a board issue, but raising money for charity on behalf of Buffistas is not?

edited for clarification

Uh, not trying to add complexity, just searching for clarity.

By board, I mean straight up Buffistas.org. I'd always seen who posts here, and how, and which threads exist for posting in, yadda, yadda to be in the voting purview.

T-shirts, face to faces, charitable donations ... those don't actually involve right *here*. Not about this code, these threads ... does that make sense?

Of course, as I type, I'm realising that there's no reason anyone else would make a similar distinction.

I think I make that distinction the same way you do, ita. And also, the process is a little wonky this week because of the "Oh yeah! We forgot about this whole other thing!" Other votes have gone off with many fewer hitches.

I'm the one compiling the text of decisions. I'm about done, and Jon, I can do the basics of htmlification if you like. Next 2 days?

One thing I've learned from reading B1 and 2 is that oftentimes, we talked past an issue for 500 posts, got exhausted, forgot what we were talking about, and then proposed the same thing all over again. So I'm thinking that institutional memory is a good thing!

I'm off to Lalaland on Saturday, so I can't promise it'll get done until I get back (beginning of June).

Okay, I thought that warning, suspending, and banning, while a board issue, is NOT a voting issue. Ten seconds and that's it, the first warning goes out. That's right, right?
