"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Hell, peeps. Posting process rather than content. Yes, The Cheesebutt Lawspeak has details on stuff like how to propose, because we all keep forgetting. The short "How to Propose" checklist is as follows:

Voting Checklist

____ No other proposals are currently on the table

____ You post a formal proposal (use words like wherefore!) in Bureaucracy

____ Four other people say "I second that"

____ Someone in Bureaucracy volunteers to count votes

____ A Stompy Foot opens Light Bulb immediately

____ You post in Press the text of your proposal, and link to Light Bulb

____ You post the text of your proposal in Light Bulb

____ Light Bulb discussion for (roughly) 4 days.

____ You take the text of your proposal and phrase it for the final ballot (You may change the language from your original proposal if you choose, or not.)

____ You send the final ballot text to Jon B.

____ Jon B. notifies you that the web ballot is ready and gives you the link.

____ You post in Press the final ballot text, the link to the ballot, and the dates and times of voting opening and closing (3 days total)

____ You post in Light Bulb the same as you've just posted in Press, ending discussion in Light Bulb

____ You wait for the voting period to end and the vote-counter to count.

____ The vote-counter reposts the final ballot text with the results (number of votes, winning vote, percentages)

____ Everybody takes a nap.
