[GREN-Exec] Decision process

[John Jackson]

On the basis of input received this afternoon, I plan to proceed as follows:

1. send out an e-mail to the paid members tomorrow morning with 3 parts:
*  the proposal for the meeting (Susan K: can you revise your first
paragraph to describe the proposal without the reasoning behind it. It needs
a bit about who the person is and a couple of line description of his book
with a link to your book review as well as the description of the actual
event, possible co-sponsors, etc.
* Susan K¹s original reasoning behind the proposal: Can you combine a couple
of the e-mails that you have sent us explaining why you think it is
something we should do ­ a few paragraphs
* Kevin¹s statement of concern: Kevin could you send me a few paragraphs to
put in

Step 2: Give people 24 hours to make comments to the whole membership group
if they so wish

Step 3: Cut off discussion and call for a vote. To keep some confidentiality
around the vote, only send their vote to me and I will be sworn to not tell
others how individuals voted. I won¹t participate in the discussion over the
previous 24 hours to make them more comfortable with sending their vote to
me.

Does that sound fine to everyone? How long should we give people to vote?

I need to look up our minutes from our early meetings to check on what
percent vote in favour has to be achieved to pass. I think it was around
2/3rds, but don¹t quote me on that. I have to check it.
