Hi everyone, Further to my 7.02am note (just awoken then) and Joseph's subsequent instruction on the subject for today's discussion, I had copied and pasted that message below. The nice thing about this virtual extended meeting time frame is that I can add to my earlier note with some comments

molly, with all due respect, what is the point of offering opportunities to vote for or against a position if a nay vote is disallowed or prevents the possibility of membership? please explain to me how the loyal opposition can voice their opinion without harassment, retribution, exclusion

If the process requires all of the items to be approved to move forward, I submit it is fatally flawed. If all are required to be approved then there should simply be one vote up or down. If not then the results of the process should be able to go forward based on the various possible outcomes.

OSCHA committee, It is a little troublesome that Will's membership is being discarded along with his comments. Essentially the arguments of the committee is lets get it working and then worry about getting it right. This is fine but I, at least, will have to wait to see it working right before

I don't understand the complaint about Will's concerns. The voting wasn't done when he indicated his comments. So why do you say that everything was done and over with? What is the voting about then? Perhaps I'm missing something important? I thought voting was a democratic process. :-)
