Hi TUs,
As Xavier pointed out (http://archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2008-May/007651.html) , we still haven't decided if we want to use the new voting system. So it is time to do decide.
According to the bylaws we need to discuss & vote before we can change things in the bylaws.
I propose two changes:
1. change all appearances of tur-users to aur-general
2. the fourth section of the standard voting procedure to (at least similar to) ####################################### Following the discussion period, a voting period opens. Simple YES, NO , or ABSTAIN votes are to be cast under the Trusted User section of the AUR homepage by at least a quorum of active TUs. ######################################
The SVP for changing the bylaws is: SVP( amend_bylaws, 5, 0.75, 7);
This mail starts the 5 day discussion period. Please note that in the discussion period you have to vote for both points ;)

I am all for the first point. For the second, going through the responses from the thread announcing the AUR voting system there were concerns about not being able to abstain (although I think you can according to the vote summary) and email notifications. For email notifications, it is easy enough to mail the list (as ammended in point one) when a vote is added. An automatic system could be worked out later. As a query, can we see who has voted for a proposal. We might start running into quorum issues if we can't track who has voted and give those who don't a boot (a bit pessimistic I know, but probably justified...) Allan
