Post by: COBOLdinosaur on October 03, 2005, 07:09:24 AM
- Do not put more that one proposal in a topic.
- When possible keep the proposal simple enough for a Yes/No vote.
- Keep to operational, management and rules elements of the site.
- Do not include debate in the proposal that will just cloud the issue. Post a second cmment with you position on the proposal.
- Any proposal that is not seconded dies after 3 days and will be deleted.
- A proposal is seconded when anyone other than the proposer posts a comment. It does not matter if the post is in favour or against the proposal.
- Debate will run 7 days, but the Polls Moderator may extend it to 10 days if it is active.
- At the end of the debate the Polls Moderator will set up the vote an let it run 7 days.
- The proposal may not be ammended unless the proposer agrees to the ammendment. Instead of trying to ammend proposals, it is probably bet to let it go to a vote, and then make a proposal to change it.
- Normal rules of professioanl behaviour are in effect. Debate can get heated, but demorcracy works best if we respect differences of opinion.
