Discussion
Use this area for discussing bullet points from above. Please keep the discussion to an appropriate section.
Methods of voting in new members
- Our current method of voting in new members has proven to be broken in many ways.
- Few people vote, or should for that matter, because they don't come to the shop often enough to meet much less get to know potential new members.
- Possible Solution:
- Voting should be a count of Nays more so than Yays. Nays must express reason for voting as such.
- This will eliminate the problem of having to wait 72 hours or whatever for people unable or unwilling to come to the meetings to vote. --strages 10:15, 26 June 2009 (CDT)

Roles places on the Secretary
- In my honest opinion, the secretary has too many roles placed upon them according the bylaws and this had gotten in the way of progress on more than one occasion due to the secretary either not being informed or unavailable at times. --strages 10:19, 26 June 2009 (CDT)
