Re: [ga] Let us try consensus/next vote?

[Hugh Dierker <hdierker2204@xxxxxxxxx>]

The contrary issue is Capture.
   
  I recommend all matters remain of list, so that someone in control of another space/booth/list does not capture and engage in unilateral predestined conclusionary tactics.
   
  I recomment the dual chair role so one group does not capture the lead position of the GA but rather there is balance.
   
  I suggest consensus if possible so that logic and best arguments prevail over capture and personality.
   
  A show of hands is perfectly valid for what is after all a general assembly.  It is the yeses and nos that are important not the actual definatve cast iron vote. Also it would lend a hand for leaders to know minority positions which may be more important than majority views.

Eric,

That is not a reliable or efficient method on a mailing list.
If you wait one more day, I will put the available options on the Booth and 
in 6 days we will all know the answer without clogging up the GA list.

I believe 2 equal chairs operating at the same time on a mailing list is a 
recipe for strife and confusion.

Why not simply elect the most preferred candidate as chair and the runner 
up as vice chair and back-up?
At least that way we create some continuity in the effort to organize the 
unrepresented.
