As long as the end state is a realistically minimal quorum requirement and a maximally inclusive enfranchisement, I don't see any problems. I don't want us to artificially inflate the quorum requirements based on coulda/woulda/shoulda and then find out that our good intentions cost us the voting margins we needed to get the proposed constitution to pass.
Simon's motion simply says that Quorum is set to 33% of the number of people who *could have* voted on "Date-Of-Record" day. It does not say that the voter rolls be limited to just those people; there is no reason why any and all CC's couldn't vote if they got off their collective tushes and actually used the community website and repository infrastructure before the end of the polling period. Being bluntly honest here, the main reason I'm on the fence about re-upping again for a 3rd term on the OGB is the prospect of having to serve under the terms of the same miserable constitution and the contortions it has forced the website and community into. I want to ensure we (the OGB) don't throw self-inflicted roadblocks in front of the effort... -John -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
