An e-mail is sent to the list asking if there are No Objections to a proposal.
Here is an example
TO: EdLUG
FROM: Someone on the List
SUBJECT:OBJECTIONS Name Change
If there are no Objections: I propose that Edinburgh Linux Users
Group's
name is changed to GNU/Linux Users
Group for Edinburgh (GLUGE)
A Decision E-mail will be sent out two weeks from the date of this
posting to confirm the proposal if there are No Objections
Here is a second example of a less controversial subject.
TO: EdLUG
FROM: Someone on the List
SUBJECT:OBJECTIONS Badges Auction
If there are no Objections: I propose that we hold an auction to raise
money so that we can have some EdLUG
Name badges made.
A Decision E-mail will be sent out two weeks from the date of this
posting to
confirm the proposal if there are No Objections
In the first example a proposal is put forward to change the name of
EdLUG. This has actually been put forward to the list
before and was rejected. The point is that there would be objections to
this proposal. In the second example a proposal is used to raise funds
by auction and use the money to have some EdLUG name badges made. If no
one objects within a week then the proposal is accepted. An e-mail
should be sent out by the original proposer confirming
the decision. If
there are
objections then these need to be addressed before the
proposal can get acceptance. Another No Objections e-mail can be sent
out once the original discussion has been resolved. If there are a lot
of objections the proposal can be dropped.
