New Wiki Meeting Style

I wanted to make a clear layout of how the new meeting "should" work.

The standard meeting will occur on Jaunary 9, 2010 at 0000 UTC (1900 EST). The meeting will have an agenda and we'll go through and discuss the topics as required, the only difference is that we won't vote on a resolution at the end. The meeting then will serve to narrow the topic down and discuss it initially. I'll log the whole conversation, post it to the regular log area for meetings then email the list.

New Part Mail Discussion

This is the new thing. I'm going to take the logs and link them in a new email to list, subject will be exactly "Wiki FG Meeting - Discussion 1" (no quotes). This thread can then serve as the discussion launchapd. I'll include in the starter a link to the logs, and brief summary of the topics covered. Probably my thoughts too. Then it's open to others to reply (please, keep the subject same so this can all be attached as one large thread. Just push reply all, if unsure). In any subsequent response (from initial), please lead off your comments saying what topic your replying to in the following clean format:

Topic 1: The New Meeting Style
I think this new way of doing meetings is totally awesome. Your the best starcraft.man, keep up the good work. Oh and here's a cookie.

You can reply to as many topics within your one email (DON'T make a separate one per topic). This discussion will therefore carry on the mail list. All those on team who were at meeting, as well as those who weren't are encouraged to participate (including those with timezone conflicts that regularly have trouble making NA meetings. I'm thinking of you euro friends.) This discussion should go on for a day or two post the meeting date to allow thorough discussion. Try and make things clear when replying.

Vote

Alternative 1

A doodle poll, a sample has been created here. Satisfies everything I believe, and easier than the mail voting. As ya can see, 3 options per topic, yes, no and abstain. You get to pick one per topic, not that it wasn't clear. No private mechanism though, don't think anyone needs one.

Alternative 2

After a few days, I'll try my best and summarize the discussion, and summarize things into a resolution we can vote for/against. Then I'll send a new email to the list titled: "Wiki FG Meeting - Vote 1". The original message will contain each resolution as I've summarized from the discussion in following form.

Topic 1 Resolution:
starcraft.man is an awesome guy, we need to send him free booze, right now.

Responses, as the discussion, should just be replies to the initial one I post. Vote clearly with each topic, if you've no opinion please abstain. Should be same standard way we do it on IRC, +1 Is for the resolution, -1 is against the stated resolution, +0 is abstention. So for example:

Topic 1: +1
Topic 2:-1
Topic 3: +0

After another day, or when I get everyones vote, Ill tally the numbers quick and reply with the last one titled: "Wiki FG Meeting - Results 1". I'll list each topic, the resolution, and the vote tallies. Then I'll go back and add to the logs the agreed resolutions. Anyone wanting a private vote (I don't think it's really needed) can reply directly to my email address.
