Re: [ga] Moving Discussion Off the GA List I'll second that


I will block this motion for the reasons that it includes the wording
"However, subscribers to GA-RULES may, by consensus, refer issues to the
full GA for a determinative ballot." This statement describes a process by
which an issue is moved to a determinative ballot from the sub-list to the
GA. Of itself, the process by which a determinative ballot is enacted has
not been discussed or agreed and flies in the face of a document (which
Patrick himself has been copied offlist), which sets out Best Practices for
processes.

Now either Patrick is so dumb as to not realize what he is doing, or he
deliberately sabotaging something he purports to support. Either way, this
motion sets about changing rules in the most naive way. Sorry Peter, but you
should take a look at the Best Practices Document before jumping into this
one.

Regards,
Joanna
