Revision as of 15:38, 26 April 2015
, 15:38, 26 April 2015→Automatic extension and rigid timeline prevents further editing
It sounds like the timeline is:
It sounds like the timeline is:
A. Board enacts temporary policy
* A. Board enacts temporary policy
B. (>=1 week from A) Board locks down language
* B. (>=1 week from A) Board locks down language
C. (>=1 week from B, <3 weeks from A) First member vote on temporary policy
* C. (>=1 week from B, <3 weeks from A) First member vote on temporary policy
D. Each week thereafter, if quorum isn't met, another vote
* D. Each week thereafter, if quorum isn't met, another vote
Right now, with a member vote, if a late comment comes in after language lockdown that would fundamentally improve the vote, the sponsor can withdraw the vote and push it back a week. And, with a member vote, if quorum fails, the member can resubmit it as-is or can adjust it based on comments. If it can't be modified the evening it fails, then it pushes the next vote out two weeks.

With this process, it seems like the steering wheel gets torn out of the car after Step B. If a good comment comes in late, the Board can't push Step C back to incorporate it without causing the temporary policy to lapse. Also, the automatic extensions for Step D seem to prohibit further modifications if good input was received in the interim. So the rigid timeline here may result in lower quality than would be expected with member votes. --[[User:Rdpierce|Rdpierce]] ([[User talk:Rdpierce|talk]]) 10:36, 26 April 2015 (CDT)
