'''Simplify the rules.''' I still don't like our reliance on Robert's Rules. Why does a group like ours need 800+ pages of copyrighted regulations? | '''Simplify the rules.'''

− | To paraphrase what Pat has often said, Robert's Rules wasn't even designed for organizations like ours. It expects groups to only meet for a limited time. Thanks to the Internet, a group like ours can be considered perpetually "in session." Why are we limited to proposing bylaws changes at in-person meetings when we could just as easily do it using a tool like Loomio? I'd like to explore ideas for replacing our rules with a simpler, original framework that we can release under an open license | + | To paraphrase what Pat has often said, Robert's Rules wasn't even designed for organizations like ours.

− | How about this | + | How about this: you can propose a vote at any time by posting it on Loomio, and WPLUG members have 10 days to vote on it. If it gets the support it needs before 10 days, voting ends early. Nice and simple! We wouldn't even need to produce ballots. |
