You are correct. But then, the "appearance of a kumbaya moment" will not occur.

If the intent is to catch small oversights I don't see this as really necessary given the recently adopted waiting period between site-wide announcement and the opening of TB voting on motions may itself prove helpful in catching minor errors that can be corrected before voting begins.

Agree. The route proposed in the motion is too circuitous. Any motion in its final form should be subjected to a de novo up or down vote.

While it is not an excuse, the motion which contained the typographical error committed by me occurred while I was traveling; and I was simply trying to get the process going.

Ah yes, that's important of course. Let's hope for some revolution come the elections!

Typos don't need a minor amendment process unless TB has totally jumped the shark. No need to apologize for a typo unless it significantly changes a motion. Just say oops, sorry, fix it, & move on.
Cheers. |

I personally see things similarly with decisions to be recommended by members of TalkBoard — especially as our top priority is to represent what FlyerTalk members want... ...so I agree with you — although I do not look like Fonzie on a surfboard in Hawaii... |

I am human...What — are you trying to get rid of me already? I just got here... Feel free to change the Guidelines and the problem goes away! |

I voted for this motion because I'd rather have minor changes done by a set of rules rather than by Presidential fiat. |

Motion will pass
In accordance with the guidelines that means we'll announce if a motion has passed or failed once enough yes or no votes have been recorded by TB members, this is the public notice that this motion will pass as it has secured 6 yes votes. Please note that not all TB members have voted yet, and so a final announcement with who voted yes/no will not be posted until all 9 have voted or the voting period ends. |

Wanted to read through things on a regular screen vice just my phone before voting. We all make mistakes and common sense should persist, but I believe in doing our best collectively to get it right in the first place. |
