Stack order and 9/10ths vote
El Gringo
procedures
The issues i had with my own facilitation last night was that i was
unsure of what system of Stack we're currently trying to use. I
wanted to clear this up in the WG before the meeting but i was the
only one there. No worries but we do need to participate and move
this forward.
Also we have stated that we chose facilitators from that group before
the GA, this ensures that they know the agenda, guest speakers, and
are familiar with any WG proposals that are supposed to be explained
to the FWG before the GA. Anyone can attend the working group by
simply showing up 30 minutes early and ask to be a facilitator. The WG
should make the person ready and have a cofacilitator for anyone who
may need it. There has been debate about this issue but it think it
can be worked out easily.
I do like the idea of
Proposal given in its entirety
Points of info from the group (only a few, quick 5 seconds)
1st. Questions, then close stack (5sec)
2nd. Concerns, close stack (15sec)
3rd. Friendly Amendments/Affirmations (15-30)
(The time frames are just a reminder to keep it short, doesnt need a
timer but we can remind all before we start each section. I don't
want to go around several times and if we needed to i think it would
call for further work in a WG and come back next GA or go to
discussion later if we have time. (?))
4th.Proposer restating the proposal or Minutes taker reading it back
as will be recorded in the minutes.
5th. Temerature check
From there, what is the percentage for consenus and what is our
decision on a 9/10th vote? Can the proposer ask for one? I was
unfamiliar during Bobs proposal but it seemed people were ready to
count it as consensus even though 4 people disagreed? We need to
reference other GAs and determine this.
What do we think about the above format?
