[ga] Repealing the 5 message limit.
Maybe its time for this -
I want to formally move to repeal the five
message limit for posting to this mailing list.
It may have not been what was intended but it may
be that its what it wound up being, and that is a rule that creates a
environment wherein the end-users are impeded in governing the organization. It
serves no other functional purpose except to stifle unwanted groupwide
discourse, so it is counter to the open interchange of ideas and
concepts.
I would in its place propose in its place allow as many posts to any thread as long we keep the list
watchdog. The Watchdog would become more a arbiter of decorum though and
not the keeper of the 5 strikes and your out badge.
To facilitate this I would also propose that under
this motion we put in place a "fair play" policy and create a WG to
implement a recommendation for this policy. This will require a collaborative
effort to come up with a realistic and uniform policy and should be easily
attainable in a couple of weeks at most. This should be a WG created by
this motion.
The intent of this motion is to create a fair and
even interflow of communications. Yes, as individuals we have a tendency to be a
bit acerbic and in some instances more arrogant than our water will attest to
(yes, me too) but that is the nature of human beings and it is part of the
creative spark that is driving us to be here.
With that said (and I apologize for waxing
philosophical in the ending) I would ask for as second to this motion to the
Secretariat.
