P1788: Motions 26 & 27 PLEASE VOTE
P1788,
Voting on Motions
M0026.01 Decorations
M0027-A1 Pragmatic Decorations
Is open and ends on Tuesday, 2011-08-16.
Current tally:
M0026.01: Yes - 2; No - 5
M0027-A1: Yes - 4; No - 3
Required for quorum: 35
Please vote separately for each motion, i.e. vote regarding Motion 26 and regarding Motion 27-A1 separately. (it is OK to include both votes in one message, as long as your intent is clear.)
It is up to you to vote in a consistent way (for either one of the motions or none).
If you vote "No," you are strongly encouraged to say what changes to that motion it would take for you to vote, "Yes."
Personal opinion:
Please do NOT say, "This is too complicated/controversial; I won't vote." If both motions fail for lack of a quorum, I suspect the proponents of each may re-submit their motions, and we will vote on the same thing again.
As has been pointed out several times, if you oppose a motion, it is strategic not to vote on that motion.
