Hi, this is your friendly voteadm person again.
The wording in Section 1 of #255 is acceptable, although I don't
think Section 2 is necessary and could give a misleading impression.
By default, policies take effect as soon as a passing result is
announced, and staff is always supposed to implement policies as
soon as practical. Having that language in the proposal suggests
that those things are not the default. Jamie, are you willing
to take that part out?
It appears that for the first time in Grex history we might be
voting on more than one proposal at the same time. The current
vote program can handle that okay with a minor amount of
hack-work on my part, but I'm working on a rewrite that will
handle parallel votes with different expiration times gracefully,
and that will automate some things that I currently do by hand.
I'd like to delay the start of voting until tomorrow (Saturday)
to see if I can get that operational. If I do, I'll start the
vote using the new program; if not, I'll start it using the old
one. Hopefully that's acceptable to folks.

Thanks for the willingness to be flexible.
Refresh my memory -- was more that one staff member involved in
deleting the items? The proposal refers to "staff members".

Re #261: You can avoid naming names and still be factually accurate.

To clarify: I think the wording in #259 is okay except that the
phrase "by staff members" is contrary to fact. Simplest fix would
be to leave it out. Once that's fixed, I'll start a vote whenever
Jamie says. Other things came up this weekend that slowed down work
on the new vote program, and I doubt I'll have a chance to work on
it again until next weekend, so in the interest of expediting
a decision it may be best to start the vote under the old program.

(That only works if the bill is sure to pass, jp2. You know that. Except
in the case of "poison pill" riders, which are added to ensure the basic bill
does NOT pass.)

When I start seeing some kickbacks for my efforts, I'll give more
serious consideration to imitating shady legislative practices. But
darn it, Jamie didn't offer me any bribes at all. You get what you
pay for. :)
Okay, I'll start the voting either later today or first thing
tomorrow.

I request, once again as I did in resp:203 on Wednesday, January 21,
that the Board resolve the questions that have been raised by myself
and others about what happens if both proposals pass, before the
proposals are placed before the voters. I think otherwise the voters
can not know what they are voting to decide, and that therefore the
outcome of the two votes will possibly be moot.
I don't know of a procedure for bringing this request into the decision
making process. I hope someone on the Board can take charge, though.

It is my understanding that the most recent proposal takes precedence.
Since jp2's proposal was made first, your proposal would be the most
recent.
So, if jp2' proposal passes and yours passes, only the baby diary items
will be restored. If jp2's proposal passes and yours doesnt, then the
baby diary items and the divorce items will be restored. If jp2's
proposal fails and yours passes, then the staff could decide to restore
the baby diary items but they would not be allowed to restore the
divorce items. If both proposals fail, the status quo prevails.
I am not sure we need a board action to clarify this officially.

Here's how it works:
Each proposal is voted upon as it is, as if it were the only one on the
table.
In case of direct conflict between successfully passed proposals, the
later one takes precedence (assumed to be a change of mind/heart on the
part of the membership -- it makes no difference if the time lapse
between conflicting proposals is minutes or years).
How much more simplification/clarification do you need?

"It would be best to avoid an unpleasant situation."
Too late. ;-)

There should be a time lag between the beginnings of the voting periods
for the respective proposals roughly equivalent to the lag between
their originations. I would be in favor of making that lag one day at
minimum, in order to make it easier on the voteadm, and to make it
easier for the membership to treat the two proposals individually.
