Adrian: Well, I am the problem with this rule. I was
away when the vote was retaken (moving actually) and
wasn't expecting to be back until February but by the
courtesy of my university I have managed to be back,
however I have missed the second round of voting. I
would hate to think that my absense for a couple of
weeks means that I cannot become a partner.
Alain: You are indeed one of the founding partners of
FreeCard, Adrian. I doubt that anyone in our group
would argue otherwise. So you missed a vote. It is
bound to happen to all of us from time to time.
Adrian: I have no problems with FreeCard and will
endorse it as the name of our product, I also like
FreeScript.
Alain: I knew you were away for a while, Adrian. Had I
been a little less busy, it might have occurred to me
to notify you by personal E-mail that a FreeCard vote
was in progress. Perhaps we should include in our
voting process a personal-notification of all members
among the lessons learned with this first vote.
Adrian: I think all we can do is make the amount
someone votes one of the things to be taken into
consideration when applying for or reviewing
membership. I would not make it a prerequisite, but it
is expected.
Alain: It had not occurred to me that responsibility
of voting would be interpreted as a prerequisite that
no one ever miss a vote, or risk losing partnership
status. Your above statement conveys much better what
I was thinking. You too, eh Rob ?
Alain: I cc'ed a copy to you, Adrian, in case you are
not (reliably) on the FreeCard mailing list.
