Mark,
I agree that almost everything is already defined in the Charter.
What I meant is that it is not clear how it will be implemented: where and how the members would enter their proposals so that they are recognized as official proposals, how to submit the seconds, in which order the proposals will be dealt with (i.e., if we get more than one at the same time; this is actually missing in the Charter - it can be according to how much support they generate, i.e., number of seconds), how much time will be allotted for discussion.
Don't forgot that ordinary members do not have write privileges in this forum, and the proposals get lost in the chatter of the mailing list.
That's why I proposed a parallel forum to this one, also on the top level, for the submission of proposals with the write privileges for everybody. It needs to get a proper name, what about "Proposals and Initiatives". If a proposal is submitted, I could create a voting with a single question: "Do you second proposal So And So", and a message would automatically to all members informing them about the proposal and asking for seconds. If it gets at least three seconds, one can start to process it.
Would something like this be reasonable?
