[GREN-Exec] Decision process

[Susan Bryant]

Decision processThanks for doing this, John. As long as Susan K and Kevin are content, I support the plan. I would think 2-3 days to vote would give enough time to everyone who might want to participate.

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: 

  a.. 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. 
  b.. Susan K’s 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 
  c.. Kevin’s 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 won’t 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 don’t quote me on that. I have to check it.
