DIS: Promotor office

2016-10-13 Thread Luis Ressel
I'll distribute the pending proposals tomorrow, but the Promotor office is currently a bit of a burden for me. Is someone interested in taking it over (permanently or at least temporarily until November)? In related news, I'm not interested in judging CFJs until November. -- aranea

I looked at the responsibilities, and it doesn't look to bad. I'll take it in the short run and see how it works out. Do we need to have an election? -Aris On Thu, Oct 13, 2016 at 3:29 AM, Luis Ressel wrote: > I'll distribute the pending proposals tomorrow, but the Promotor office > is currentl

Just to be clear, under R2124/18 (Agoran Satisfaction) the speaker can veto an announcement of intent by indefinitely objecting to it. They have to renew it every 48 hours, but that's a lot of power. -Aris On Thu, Oct 13, 2016 at 12:07 PM, Aris Merchant < thoughtsoflifeandligh...@gmail.com> wrote
