[Cz-editcouncil] CZ Editorial Council Resolution 0013

[M. BALDWIN-EDWARDS]

MessageAll:

I was not even aware of any proposed amendment to the text. Someone: please do as Larry suggests and formally propose the amendment on a subpage to the Resolution. You should then propose it (to this list) as a formal amendment -- preferably in the next hour or so!

As chair of the Rules Committee, I have to tell you that we will be voting on the original text unless there is any delay in order to permit the amendment.

Best wishes

Martin Baldwin-Edwards
Secretary

  Point of order: on the Proposals System page that contains the text of the disclaimer, there is now a "proposed amendment."  Which is the text that is up for consideration by Council?  Could we have a definitive declaration about that?

  I'm not authorized to make any definitive declaration about that myself, but fwiw, I am inclined to say, strictly for reasons of procedural clarity, that it is the text that first appears, not the amended text.  All amendments must be duly proposed, i.e., here on cz-editcouncil, and approved.

  Any Council member has the right to propose an amendment of any sort.  Go ahead.  Please don't complain, after we start voting, that we ignored all the amendments that were proposed on the Proposals System page...

  By the way, such matters of procedural clarity are why I think the full text of a resolution should appear on a subpage of [[CZ:Editorial Council]] and no where else--not Proposals System pages that are, as they should be, easy to change.  Think of Proposals System pages as rough drafts.
