What is being banned? All discussion ?
So only voting?
I think there will be 15 minutes of anti-rewrite time allowed, and 15 minutes of pro. But there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes politicking going on right now, and we’re getting new anti-rewriters by the minute! 😉
Thanks so much for posting this valuable information. Looking forward to the UUtheConversation Meetups on Thursday and Friday! 🙂
Did anyone else find Whova complicated?
I plan to vote NO on all four amendments, My reasoning: each of these amendments has a following who believes it will “fix” A2R. If their amendment is not passed, they may vote against A2R, strengthening our position
Great idea. If the Revisions as a whole pass (lower threshold than the Amendments), you can pat yourself on the back for possibly having helped prevent restoration of Reason as one of our central values.
