I see two problems with the concept of an endorsement threshhold.
First, an endorsement threshhold does little to address my prime
concern, that an election settle an issue, at least for a good
period of time. Jamie's proposal got about 20% support from the
membership, and that level of support would (hypothetically) allow
the proposal be brought up again, again again, constantly.
Second, Grex has in the past been very proud that it allows any
single member to bring an issue to a vote, and I'm not enthusiastic
about moving away from that.
Feel free to try to convince me.

Ken - it sounds to me like a lot of the people who voted for Jamie's
proposal the first time don't want it brought to a vote the second time. So
I think your first objection will take care of itself. If we had a group of
9 or more members who not only disagreed with policy but also wanted to be
relentless about it, then yeah, we'd vote on the same thing over and over
again. I suppose if that happens, we can try something else.

Most systems of parliamentary rules require that a motion at least be
seconded before being voted on.
I don't see a problem with requiring some minimal show of support before
bringing an issue to a membership vote.

Re resp:69: I think the odds of it getting endorsed would fall rapidly
with each iteration, as people lost interest. Under the current system,
this doesn't matter; even if his proposal gets zero votes next time he
puts it to a vote, he can still keep forcing it to a vote over and over.
I would have endorsed both jp2 and jep's original proposals. I would
not endorse jp2's second attempt.

The anonymous web reading votes were much closer to 50-50 to start. The
revotes were, IIRC, tweaks that finally made the policy acceptable to a
majority of members.

I'm inclined to let this proposal die and defer to remmers' item:122.

Let that proposal die, and GreX will too.
