response 206 of 424: Mark Unseen   Jan 21 17:19 UTC 2004

Eric, as jp2 mentioned, and the numbering of the items shows anyway, my 
proposal was entered after his.  Would mine therefore modify his and 
take precedence in that way?  Can his exclude mine from passing?  Can a 
user proposal ban further user proposals on a subject?  Or will they be 
concurrent -- the vote start and end at the same time for both?

It has been suggested that mine is more limited and would take 
precedence on that basis.  Do you agree?  Does the Board and the 
Staff?  (This is what led to my request.)

Both his proposal and mine have an implied timeline of "take effect 
immediately upon passing".  My proposal is to *not* take an action.  
There's no timeline for being inactive on something; you can not-do 
something today, or next week, or in 2010.

I don't think it's clear on what happens if both his proposal and mine 
pass.  I think it's valid to ask that that be determined before the 
proposals are voted on.

re resp:204: Jamie, it would be in the best interests of Grex that 
there be no conflicting proposals.  Do you agree?

It would be best if you and I can agree to merge our proposals so as to 
avoid conflicting simultaneous votes.  The clearest way to do that, in 
my opinion, is to split the issue of valerie's items from the issue of 
the items I asked her to delete.  Then there can be two unambiguous 
votes with direct and clear consequences.  We'd just have to agree how 
the one on my items would be worded.  It seems to me possible we can do 
that.

What say you?

You are right that it is not clear what happens if both proposals pass.  I
suggest that people consider that when casting their votes, and vote
accordingly.

I am aware of a Constitutional precedent for Section 4, but I still think
it inappropriate for grex.  On that basis alone, I'm inclined to vote
against this proposal.

Each proposal must be weighed on its own merits and implemented 
within the context of the state of reality at the time it is passed.

If the wording of one proposal is mooted by the wording of another, 
then so be it.  The later proposal has the advantage of being 
modifiable after the earlier is set in stone and being voted upon.  
The proposals do not carry any weight however, until they are 
successfully passed.

Jamie, I am not going to drop my proposal.

Your point #4 isn't relevant to my proposal, you know.

I've offered a clear way to avoid any ambiguity, any conflict between 
the two proposals, and to put the issues to the users in the most 
straightforward way.  I don't see any advantage to anyone in making it 
confusing.  I don't see any reason why we can't disagree but be 
collegial.  I'm not willing to give up my proposal just to get along, 
though.

It is possible for members to defeat this proposal, and have none of its
suggestions go into effect.  Just vote no.

There are several things embodied in this proposal.  Because it is
presented as "all, or nothing", it leaves us with no way to accept the
good without also accepting the bad.  In my opinion, the good it does is
not worth the bad it does.

Unless you keep it very short and focused on just
the restoration of the deleted items I suspect this
vote won't get much support at all.

I'm also not happy with section 4.  I really don't like the idea of
voting to limit what I have the right to vote about later.

Here is all proposal #76 says:

I wish to make a user proposal that my two items recently deleted by
 loginid valerie not be restored.

Since without passage of #75 I don't see anyone moving to restore jep's items
even if his proposal fails, I believe the practical outcome is this:

#75 passes and #76 passes - only valerie's items are restored
#75 passes and #76 fails  - all items are restored
#75 fails                 - no items are restored

Can we agree to that?

If no items are restored, does this mean the content on GreX's website
regarding free speech will have to be modified?  I think we should consider
that.
