Changes

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)

:I think this is a pretty good point. There should probably be something in the language that allows the policy to be changed in between votes. Though I think this would already be allowed under normal voting procedures. To ensure there's no confusion we can add a sentence that says "Improvements to the policy can be made between votes if quorum is not met," or something to that tune. --[[User:Justin|Justin]] ([[User talk:Justin|talk]]) 11:22, 5 May 2015 (CDT)

The Bylaws outline the Issues Proper for a Vote of the Directors. This proposal, being a policy and not a Bylaws revision, attempts to restrict the powers that the Bylaws grant the Board. If enacted, this policy would directly contradict the Bylaws and create a procedural dilemma. A member policy cannot restrict what the Bylaws allow the Board to do. If the vote sponsor disagrees with the Bylaws, then the proposal really needs to amend the Bylaws. --[[User:Rdpierce|Rdpierce]] ([[User talk:Rdpierce|talk]]) 20:50, 6 May 2015 (CDT)
