Then motions ought to be implemented immediately without waiting the entire two weeks as soon as 5 TB members vote for it. Keep voting open so that the others can show unanimity (or not) if they want to, but no reason to wait.

The president will often close a vote if all 9 have voted but the voting period has not expired.

I really do not think TB can attract any criticism there for being tardy with prompt communication.
However .. having said that I am sure someone will find reason to complain we are acting too rapidly or too openly or too recklessly.

Off topic discussions, and baiting between posters will not be allowed. Any further necessity to moderate this thread will result in its closing.

Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world
Like a Colossus, and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs and peep about
To find ourselves dishonourable graves.
Men at some time are masters of their fates:
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings.

Moved by bhatnasx and seconded by ozstamps that:
All motions that are duly seconded and put before TalkBoard for a vote shall be posted in a new thread in the public TalkBoard Topics Forum along with the voting start/end period.
Motions on topics related to the internal administration of TalkBoard (such as election of officers) and some topics requested for discussion or input by Randy Petersen and/or members of the House of Miles staff will be exempted from this public posting requirement.
The purpose of posting voting topics in the public TalkBoard 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.
