The bylaws are what empower us to act upon and make decisions - it's not about following the laws word by word. Without them, we wouldn't take ourselves seriously :)
Granted, the wording can be a little too formal for non-English speakers. Perhaps there should be some translations for it?
That's my take on it as well. Translations would not end however, simplification may be better.
I also find the bylaws difficult to understand, but maybe it would be easier to convert them into a flowchart?
$ rmtu Ranguvar error: This removal is not in accordance with the TU by-laws. $ sudo rmtu Ranguvar removing Ranguvar... done. I'm halfway tempted to create the flowchart but I just don't have the time. If someone wants to adapt the dot file from the Arch Linux Help Guide Flowchart, feel free: http://xyne.archlinux.ca/miscellaneous/#the-arch-linux-help-guide-flowchart Make sure that "Blame Allan" is in there somewhere (Was quorum reached? --no--> Blame Allan --> etc) For what it's worth, I agree that the by-laws should be followed, even if the outcome is clear. Out of 28 TUs less than a third participated in the "discussion". If you don't like the by-laws then propose a change. If we start picking and choosing which ones apply and to whom, then what's the point of having by-laws at all?
