To <redacted>'s point, in the past TB members took their time before voting for the most part.

So to me this was an outlier situation.

That said, it really ISN'T fair that a vote can be finished before a site-wide announcement that it is taking place is posted, and there is nothing preventing that from happening again.

So I do think it makes sense to add a provision to the TB Guidelines that there be a 'comment period' between when a motion is made and seconded AND a site-wide announcement of that motion is posted and when voting on that motion opens. 72 hours seems like plenty.

I'd make that motion now, but we're in a lame duck situation so think it's more fair to wait until the new TB session begins.
