Re: Constitution - formal proposal (v0.6.1)

1998-04-16 Thread Ian Jackson
I think we should make it someone's job to collate versions and
amendments c, so that the secretary doesn't have to do it unless they
want to.

So, I'm considering inserting after A.2 `Calling for a vote' 2.:

 3. The person who calls for a vote states what they believe the
wordings of the resolution and any relevant amendments are, and
consequently what form the ballot should take.  However, the final
decision on the form of ballot(s) is the Secretary's - see 7.1(1),
7.1(3) and A.3(6).

This puts the onus on the people proposing resolutions and amendments
to sort out the tedious details.

Ian.

1998-04-07 Thread Ian Jackson - Debian Project Leader
Please see
 http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ian/debian-organisation-0.6.1.html
 http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ian/debian-organisation.html
for the latest draft constitution.  These changes are not yet formal.

Changes (numbering as in new):

s.1: List of decisionmakers rearranged and sentence added to help
convey partial authority graph.

s.6.3(2): Tech ctte members can't vote on whether to overrule
themselves as a developer (unless they're the chairman, in which case
they get only a casting vote as usual).

s.9: Changes mainly suggested by Oliver Elphick to avoid perception of
tax liability, c.

s.A.1(5): Proposer of resolution may suggest changes to wordings of
amendments, which the proposer of the amendment must accept and the
seconders of the amendment may reject.

s.A.4: Section on withdrawing clarified.

s.A.4,5,6: renumbered (there were two s.A.3's).

Ian.
