I am all for no browbeating or tirades. My first question is how often do we have actions that need taken care of immediately that fall outside the power of the champions? 3 hour meetings are largely a result of interpersonal conflicts spilling into meeting time. The rest of the time they are from a lack of use of the discuss@ mailing list. By the time the proposal is called for consent/vote --whatever-- the wording has been 95% decided. Discussion on the wording will still take place prior to the proposal being formed. So I don't see how voting will expedite the process. Apart from the release of funds to do awesome projects or membership related ones we shouldn't have proposals every week to drag out meetings. I'm not sure this will solve meandering topics either. The moderator is supposed to keep discussion on topic.
I would also argue that meetings of the past operated under consensus rather than voting. There does need to be a clear and simple way to prevent filibustering and petty blocking. Except for filibustering I do not see voting solving the problems you have outlined. regards, Andrew L On Thu, May 15, 2014 at 12:43 AM, Andrew Buczko <[email protected]>wrote: > I like it.
