Let's wait another day to get some more comments and incorporate any last changes. If it changes during the discussion period without unanimous consent then we would end up in a grey area when deciding which version to vote on (and we're limited by YES/NO proposals... haha).
I'm nitpicking here because we're pretty much at the final edit: Why do we have this redundant construct? "aur-general mailing list (aur-general)". Also I fixed one case of bylaws -> by-laws. And personally I prefer 'exceeds' to 'is greater than', and 'exceeds or equals' to 'is greater than or equal to' just for conciseness. Also I find the parts regarding the length of the discussion and voting period reading "UNLESS otherwise stated in a section of the by-laws pertaining to the proposal" rather awkward. I looked at the original bylaws and under the Standard Voting Procedure section says only "a certain period of time should be allotted to its discussion" without prescribing any length of time (it leaves the actual length of time to the sections describing each action). I would rather that this part read as the original by-laws, or that we standardize the length of the discussion period (make everything have a X day discussion period). Also if we are putting stuff like five day discussion section, seven day voting period, 66% quorum in the Standard Voting Procedure section, are we going to remove the redundant information in the other sections? As it stands now every section says 66% quorum. --Kaiting. -- Kiwis and Limes: http://kaitocracy.blogspot.com/
