Motion Passed: Create a Spain/Portugal/Gibraltar Forum
Moved by SkiAdcock and seconded by goalie:
"The TalkBoard recommends to the Community Director the creation of a Spain/Portugal/Gibraltar Foum and relocation of appropriate threads from other forums once created."
This vote will close on August 2nd, 2012, at 7:18pm or after all TalkBoard members have registered their vote, whichever comes first.
Per the TalkBoard Guidelines:
A motion shall pass if at least two-thirds of the yes or no votes cast by TalkBoard members are ‘yes’ and a majority of the total TalkBoard membership votes 'yes.'
The purpose of posting voting topics in the public TalkBoard Topics forum is to solicit member feedback on any motions that are up for a vote and to allow for comments after a vote is made. It is at the sole discretion of the individual TalkBoard members whether they choose to post in the public discussion thread, there being no requirement to do so.
So while there is already a thread and discussion on this general topic and it is safe to assume that TalkBoard members have reviewed that thread, this thread is about this specific motion.
Please feel free to post questions, comments or any other sort of feedback in this thread, or in the other discussion thread. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/talkb...gal-forum.html

Can someone please amend the speller in the Global announcement / sticky from SanDiego1K. Both the header and body copy.
As per this thread, its Gibraltar, never Gibralter.
C'mon, it might only be a small part of the grand old 'U of K', but surely we can get its name right? ^
(and then yes, I'd support the move)...
Thanks

Yes, I agree, but why don't we use a poll that succinctly reports and totals the votes?

This is a GREAT idea! A lot of us spend time in Spain, Portugal, and/or Gibraltar and we would love to have a forum for discussing these areas!

Si, sim, and yes! This would be a great idea, although hopefully both governments can stay afloat. Since many other countries have their own forums, and Spain and Portugal have a wide range with the mainlands and all of their outlying islands (Majorca/Minorca, Canaries, Madeira, Azores etc.), this is a great move, and I fully support it.
