| + | I think this "auto propose a vote" thing is bad. |
| + | |
| + | It does not do anything good for the space. There is no trade this for that for a net gain. There is a cost (the voting process), there is no gain, so the ROI is negative. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | (bare with the 2 levels of voting here. We are voting on how to vote, so the word vote doesn't always reference the same thing.) |
| + | |
| + | There is a 2x2 grid of choices made up of (this proposed vote (A)pass, (B)not pass) x (members (1)agree, (2)disagree) |
| + | A1, A2, B1, B2. |
| + | |
| + | (A) Assume this proposed vote passes and now the members have to vote on all policies voted on and passed by the BoD. |
| + | |
| + | There are two possible outcomes of such votes: pass or not pass. (not meeting quorum just delays the outcome.) |
| + | |
| + | (1) If the vote passes, nothing changes. The existing policy is still in affect. |
| + | |
| + | (2) If the vote does not pass, the policy is no longer in effect. This leaves PS1 in an undefined state that is probably bad. In the case of any of the 3 pseudo policies, PS1 no longer has insurance (or something that is essentially that.) |
| + | |
| + | (B) Proposed vote does not pass |
| + | |
| + | (1) the board did stuff, the members keep hacking. |
| + | |
| + | (2) Someone doesn't like what the board did. they propose a vote of something different. The members vote on it. |
| + | |
| + | B2 is really a subset of our current process: Someone wants something that requires a vote and follows the existing procedure. |
| + | |
| + | A1 - voting paperwork |
| + | A2 - voting paperwork and possibly undesirable |
| + | |
| + | B1 - no paperwork |
| + | B2 - voting paperwork and probably desirable but maybe undesirable because evil future members. |
| + | |
| + | My Summary: all this really does is force the membership to vote and pass more things. That is annoying work. |
| + | There will also be debates on what is and isn't a policy that needs to be voted on, not because anyone want's to over turn it, but we want to follow this rule we put in place. |
| + | I think the chance of the members revoking a policy is basically 0. |
| + | If that 0 event happens, we currently don't know what state that will leave things in. |
| + | I suspect there is a good chance it leaves us in a bad state and PS1 just shot itself in the foot. |
| + | |
| + | We currently have the ability to shot ourselves, so passing this vote dose not give anyone any more abilities. |
