Forum for the discussion and develepment of the WDDM operating rules

Decision Making Rules:
1. Decisions are made collectivelly by all Ordinary Members. Each Ordinary Member has a single vote and each vote has an equal value. Members can choose to vote or not.
2. A proposal (motion) is processed as described in Proposal Submission and Processing section below.
3. When a motion comes to a vote (as recommended/required by the Research Report conclusions), the following rules apply:
1. A motion is immediately rejected and cannot be again tabled for six months if it gets less than 50% of votes of ALL THOSE WHO VOTED.
2. If a motion wins a simple majority of those who voted on it, the result is posted on the site, and ALL ORDINARY WDDM MEMBERS are invited to accept it as a binding decission.
3. If not more than 20% of all ordinary members would object against it within 6 days (or 14 days???), the decision will be considered accepted and binding, and be implemented. In this approval process, if a member will not respond, it will be assumed, that he accepts the decision, and will abide by it.
4. If more than 20% of all members present any objections within 6 (or 14) days, the motion is not implemented unless a 80% consensus of all members is achieved through further discussions, modifications or whatever process will be appropriate.
I wish to discuss on this proposal of Bruce, as I basically agree with it !

Dear George,

Re: within 6 days (or 14 days???),
I would prefer longer period than 6 days, at least 10. Otherwise, I have no problem with the rest.
mk, [democracy.mkolar.org]
Some do not check email daily, than need time to respond.
Shall we gp with 14 days? We can alter it later if it is not enough.
