Ratification of the FES Constitution
« on: August 19, 2014, 04:22:26 AM »
This is the official thread to ratify the constitution. Please post only ratification or refusal to ratify in this thread. Discussion should occur in the S&C thread. All five Council members must ratify the constitution for it to be in effect

The draft being voted on is the 3rd, linked here

For all the good it does whilst we are still in limbo, its fine with me.

I thought elections were staggered? Not all 5 being re-elected every 6 months?

Anyhoo ...

That's what we decided on in another thread, as I remember. I think Secret User said something in favor of it and nobody disagreed with him, so I went with it.

Secret user is a her. At least I think so. It is dating Junker. If Junker is queer, then accept my apologies.

Oops. I think I was aware of that at some point. I sincerely apologize to SU for my mis-gendering and patriarchal assumptions. That was shitty of me.

I may have experimented in college, but that was it  >o<

But seriously, come on Tausami.... Where have you been the past year (or past 7 years she has been on FES...)?

It was less a case of not being aware and more a case of being dumb and typing 'him' without thinking. I'd like to say there was gin involved, but I think I posted that before I had more than a shot.

If my plan for creating a html page where we could send a text message to all five council members was more widely supported, Tsunami could have sent out a call to vote, and we would have all voted on this by now.

However, Tsunami had to resort to email messaging, and this is what happened.

There's no rush. If Roundy doesn't pop in I'll just send him another message. I'm fairly certain he's around on the forum.

No, I just haven't been very active lately.  I'm working ten hour days.  The last thing I want to do when I get home is anything that requires heavy thought.  I considered reviewing the Constitution and giving an opinion and will happily do so if you'd like (tomorrow or maybe Saturday) but I think it would be a waste because I'd like to resign from the Zetetic Council if you please. 

I heartily nominate Excelsior John to take my place.  He clearly has "it".

My friends, please remember Tom said this the next time you fall into the trap of engaging him, and thank you. :)

Oh, hey, I guess the decision has already been made.  Sweet.

Well technically you're still in the Council until we replace you, regardless of anything else. So yeah, if you could give a ratification or a refusal to ratify that would be awesome. Thanks, Roundy!
