Well, but I like to do more of the general hashing out in advance, because that makes the initial proposal not very different from the one that goes to vote -- most of its kinks have been worked out already.

Because, like I said, I can already see kinks in the text of what Jim is proposing.

What's "Fow"?

Fox. Typo. And I'm happy to accept any changes - that was just a quickie to start conversation.

Right, Amy. But Jim posted the proposal asking for seconds, didn't he? I agree it should be (and probably will be) modified before the vote, but we have four days until then. Getting seconds would be a good way to start discussion, rather than waiting until we get the *perfect* proposal. On the other hand, I would understand it if the feelign was that Jim's is a starting point, and an official bullshit-consensus proposal will be Plei's.

Oh, and "major", I'd say, means regulars not guest stars or recurrings.

As candyb put it in spoilers:

I would support a proposal to changes to the MAIN CAST ONLY, not recurring or guest.

This sounds like the way to go, although I'd probably change it to "well-publicized changes". I know "well-publicized" opens its own can of worms (i.e. define "well-publicized"). Doyles death, for instance, was not what I'd call well-publicized in advance. Buffy returning season 6, or SMG not doing another season, I would call well-publicized.

If Jim's proposal was official, I'll third.

Teppy - my understanding is you followed the steps, but I wish more folks would chime in.

Thanks, Cindy. I don't want to be a rogue Buffista.

Well, I *do*, but not in matters of procedure.

Can we define "main cast" to be "those whose names appear in the opening credits"?

I'm agreeing like crazy with teppy. But I've only scrolled a few of the said events, not actually participated in the discussions.
