#374 Modify Cloture rule

Closed None Opened 13 years ago by kevin.

= Proposal topic =

Modify the current FESCo meeting discussion rules

= Overview =

Currently, discussion of a topic goes for 15minutes. At the end of that time, a vote is taken on if discussion can continue or is cut off. I would like to modify this rule to instead, after 15 minutes of discussion, ask those members who are discussing the issue to write up their thoughts in a wiki page for consideration at the next meeting. Each view point can list their thoughts as a seperate proposal, or work off line with others to come up with a single proposal acceptable to them all. This page is used in the next meeting to guide discussions and voting.

= Problem space =

Allow topics where a full consensis can't be reached to have more off line discussion and clearer write up before voting. Allow folks a chance to compromise.

= Solution Overview =

Change the rule to have people more clearly write up their thoughts and position on a wiki page.

= Active Ingredients =

FESCo rules, wiki pages.

= Owners =

This is 'if FESCo does not agree to continue discussion', right?

kevin commented 13 years ago

Yes, sorry for not being clear on that.

it would be:

15min discussion on topic.
If no vote to continue/consensus has not been reached, then ask stakeholders to write up positions on a wiki page for next meeting/work off line to compromise.
If vote to continue, continue discussions for another 15min.
