This, as we've mentioned, is nothing new. Sharon and I were bith on TalkBoard when this happened time after time on every vote. It's why the measure that voting results be announced as soon as the required number of votes were received was proposed and passed in the first place.
The new amendment is a positive step, but a 7-day voting period also makes a lot of sense, especially as connected as even the busiest travelers are.
Finally, when you represent FT, there is an inherent responsibility to be polite under most circumstances. Having to wait an extra week to roll out a forum doesn't strike me as end-of-the-world stuff.
Could not disagree more here. This is not what I signed up for. "There's a time to be nice, and a time not to be nice." That applies in FT and in life. I'll give you "polite" until you haven't earned that respect any longer. I don't stand for folks who stand on ceremony to impede progress in my professional life, and I don't feel any differently about the responsibilities of TB. If you need two weeks (or one now) to contemplate an issue, by all means, take your time. But don't come here and say "the dog ate my homework" or "I overslept".
