Changes

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.

: I am of the opinion that a vote to violate a contractual obligation would be unlawful, however that point that has been met with enough contention that I am willing to spell it out in plain language. A line stating that member's must honor contractual obligations of the space has been added. --[[User:Hef|Hef]] ([[User talk:Hef|talk]]) 21:22, 7 May 2015 (CDT)

Another point: we need definitions of what a Policy is. These three "policies" seem to me to be more like "House Rules."

: I'd like to move in the direction of member curated "House Rules". I am counting Board Member's as members, as it is likely they will continue to be the most appraised member's on the legal and contractual obligations of the space. I would like to allow the general membership to participate in the curation of rules, as I feel there is a lot of benefit to be had in doing so. --[[User:Hef|Hef]] ([[User talk:Hef|talk]]) 21:22, 7 May 2015 (CDT)

The vote did (at the time the title was written) broaden the BoD's power's substantially. I was working on a tradeoff between effectiveness and power balance. I clearly missed the mark, as the substantial amount of negative feedback I recieved regarding that part of the vote.. Most of that is moot, considering the new version does not broaden the BoD's power. --[[User:Hef|Hef]] ([[User talk:Hef|talk]]) 21:14, 7 May 2015 (CDT)

:::: 1) you are begging the question that the bylaws were violated and interpreted incorrectly. 2) If I consider the case that your points are true, It still seems frivolous to me. I'm not going to vote on something just to clarify bylaws. I object to adding more bureaucracy. --[[User:Skm|Skm]] ([[User talk:Skm|talk]]) 09:30, 7 May 2015 (CDT)

: The version of the vote created a conflict of the bylaws. At the time my intention was to rework the vote to be a clear amendment to the bylaws. However in the course of editing and attempting to find a more agreeable solution, the parts necessitating a bylaw modification have been removed. --[[User:Hef|Hef]] ([[User talk:Hef|talk]]) 21:16, 7 May 2015 (CDT)
