[atlarge-discuss] enough waiting for nothing

[Joop Teernstra <terastra@terabytz.co.nz>]

The month of January has ended with no action. No action is in sight.

There have  been motions and consensus on this list that immediate Polling 
of the membership on the issues that are important for our future direction 
is desired.

James Khan and Richard Henderson have helped and encouraged me  in setting 
up  the members'  questions in the Polling Booth. Some questions are my own.
These members and myself are not an elected Polling Commission and the 
results will therefore not be "official" .
 Nevertheless, they should provide welcome guidance information for both 
the Panel and us members.

the Supervisory panel has let us down.

Vittorio, if you wish to help me make sure that everybody gets the chance 
to vote, then please email me privately the email addresses of the 
latest  members that have signed up after I re-directed all signup to your 
database (20 or so?) , so that the Booth can send them their unique voter 
login too.

I would like to ask for your endorsement of Bruce, Jefsey, Walter Schmidt 
and Jan Siren as watchers over the Polling process.

All members will receive a Polling Notice with their unique password over 
the weekend .
If I can manage to start the Polling  today,  the Poll will be closed on 
February 7.

    Experimenting with full transparency, some of the results of the 
questions will be visible immediately as the Polling progresses.

If these Polls can proceed reasonably successfully, I would propose that an 
election for a Polling Commission with a twelve month mandate be held later 
in February.
I agree with Jefsey that in a direct democracy the most important part to 
be controlled by process is the formulation of Polling questions.  They 
must  grow out of constructive debate among a few trusted elected members. 
The Panel has not been elected for this task and  no single person can be 
expected to be both comprehensive and unbiased all on his/her own.
