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.
I still say no to this as TB should take the time, listen to the comments and get the motion right the first time but if something is missed (other than a simple typo), withdraw the motion or have TB members simply vote no to kill the motion and re-do the motion to get it right

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.
I am human...
What — are you trying to get rid of me already?
I just got here...

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.
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...

Feel free to change the Guidelines and the problem goes away!

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.

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.
