I am curious. Is there any precedent to those policies? In other words, have any other policies ever been enacted by the board with no membership vote? --[[User:Lucas|Lucas]] ([[User talk:Lucas|talk]]) 11:32, 22 April 2015 (CDT)

* Good call. I probably should have gotten into a more neutral mood before writing the first pass of this proposal. (The title has been changed_ --[[User:Hef|Hef]] ([[User talk:Hef|talk]]) 09:05, 23 April 2015 (CDT)

I like Joel's suggestion about the policies being in effect until member quorum is met rather than the language here about automatic expiry.

"expires 3 weeks after being voted on" does not specify that the board of directors voted on it versus membership voting on it. skm

I think this "auto propose a vote" thing is bad.

* The thing I am most interested in is that the membership have the ability to apply our historically stringent process of ensuring the high quality of policies. --[[User:Hef|Hef]] ([[User talk:Hef|talk]]) 11:41, 25 April 2015 (CDT)

I agree completely with your point #2. I disagree, however, on point #1, as the act of voting indicates a choice in wishing to meet contractual agreements that have already been put in place. I think we can vote to renegotiate our insurance policy, but we can't vote on whether or not we will comply with it once it has been signed, as that breaks the contract and nullifies our insurance policy.
Another point: we need definitions of what a Policy is. These three "policies" seem to me to be more like "House Rules."

We only needed to vote about whether we'd extend coverage for what we did and to vote not to add coverage for the other things. Then, if members want the other things they could vote to spend however much for new coverage. - skm
