RE: [ga] Vote

["Theresa Taylor" <theresa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While I cannot address the diminishing of items taken off the list for the
obvious reason of not having been here long enough, I can say one thing in
favor of the voting booth and that is the publicness of the booth.

 

Many more people could and would have access to the booth than would on the
list.  A lot wont subscribe, nor stay subscribe due to volume of mail; but
those same people would participate with a booth.

I agree with the equal co-chair positions.

I would suggest that we quickly move forward again. This time I would
suggest we vote here and come up with a consensus as to the wording of the
next vote. For for that matter we could just come up with a consensus on the
vote.

 

Reason for doing it here.

 

Certainly there are many that have been here longer than I when the two
ccTLD Peters sent me here, but I have seen over that time that whenever
things get pulled off this list they are diminishing. Both the activity
being taken away and the list. It causes fracturing and dissinterest. Also
people have shown time again that they are untrusting of other spaces.
Further as the results show more people are active regarding an issue if it
is occurring here.

So while a "show of hands" may not be as impeccable as a voting booth it is
nothing but open and transparent - which is a goal.

Debate as to the first elected person(s) from here.

My vote is for an equal co-chair position that will run things here and be
sent by us to represent us elsewhere. I lean toward a spokesperson concept
rather than a freewheeling President position. Hopefully internally the two
would represent pros and cons here and then go forth with both our majority
consensus position and our minority position and do it all here for optimum
oppeness and transparency.
