CZ:Charter/Drafting procedures

This page and its parent page are dedicated to drafting a charter for Citizendium and should only be edited by those eight Citizens elected to the drafting Committee. Other Citizens, please comment on the dedicated thread at the Citizen Forum. Non-Citizens can comment in a separate thread at the non-Member Forum. The drafting period shall end when November 12, 2009 is over all around the globe.

This page lists the procedures governing the drafting process that are not specified in CZ:Charter drafting committee.

Committee chairperson

Motivation

Discussion brought over from http://en.citizendium.org/wiki?title=CZ_Talk:Charter_drafting&oldid=100589636#Committee_chairperson.3F.

I'm thinking that we could use someone to keep us on track. D. Matt Innis 01:12, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I thought that too. But it seems we've started without one. Russell D. Jones 14:41, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Don't think we really need one but in case we do, here is my proposal: Have the role shift each day (measured in UTC), according to the following scheme (names sorted in reverse alphabetical order of the third letter of the given name, as discussed on the forum):

Name	Term 1	Term 2	Term 3	Term 4
Howard Berkowitz	10/16/2009	10/24/2009	11/1/2009	11/9/2009
Matt Innis	10/17/2009	10/25/2009	11/2/2009	11/10/2009
Russell Jones	10/18/2009	10/26/2009	11/3/2009	11/11/2009
Martin Baldwin-Edwards	10/19/2009	10/27/2009	11/4/2009	11/12/2009
Daniel Mietchen	10/20/2009	10/28/2009	11/5/2009
Meg Ireland	10/21/2009	10/29/2009	11/6/2009

Voting procedure

Discussion brought over from http://en.citizendium.org/wiki?title=CZ_Talk:Charter_drafting&oldid=100589636#Voting_procedures.

I hereby propose that if we have to reach an agreement on some sort, we use a simplified voting — just adding our names (optionally with a comment) into one of the three following subsections within a section that briefly describes the scope of the vote. Simple majority counts, and the current or most recent chairperson in case of ties. Deadline for votes: 2 days from their announcement. --Daniel Mietchen 15:47, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Agree

Well, I made the proposal. --Daniel Mietchen 15:47, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
