RE: SUO: SUMO Ballot Results
Dear Jim,
I share the same feelings as john-josef.
It seems to me more important to try and gain concensus than push through a
motion that has had significant resistance on such a slight 'majority'.
As with john-josef, if it is possible I would change my ABSTAIN to NO, to
ensure that we have time to gain concensus.
Regards
Chris

Subject: Re: SUO: SUMO Ballot Results
I think it is counter-productive to pass this motion with the tabulated
results. it divides and further distances the community of discussants from
each other. today is 16aug2001 and i understand that the voting/ballot
closed yesterday 15aug2001. i think however that the vote results should
have been made public to the voters long before today. after all, there
must
be nothing secret about how the votes proceeded from day to day. if today
were 15aug2001, i would change my vote from ABSTAIN to a definite NO. i do
not like to see many in this community of discussants lose interest. it
must
not be just win or lose on a vote but what lays ahead that we must be
concerned about. Again, if the procedures (!) allow it, i change my vote
from ABSTAIN to NO.
