[Cz-editcouncil] Mistaken posting

Since a point of order has been called ;-) -- well, it's not perfect, but
when in doubt, consult
 
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Editorial_Council_Rules_of_Procedure
 
I would interpret that as saying that a draft resolution becomes an initial
resolution when it is written up in the required form (which David's has not
yet), and placed here:
 
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Editorial_Council#Initial_resolutions
 
That's all that is needed, because nothing else has been specified in the
rules.  It's another step for the resolution to be moved onto the Agenda.
For that, two co-sponsors are required.
 
Whoever wants officially to start Resolution 0011 should consult:
 
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Editorial_Council_How_to_Make_a_Resolution
 
According to those instructions, Resolution 0011 must be linked in two
places:
 
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Editorial_Council_Resolutions_Complete_Lis
t
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Editorial_Council#Initial_resolutions
 
Just to be clear, it's the Secretary's job to instruct people in these
matters...

Apologies to the Council members, and to David Volk in particular, for what
was supposed to be a private email to the Chair. 
 
Apropos of the draft resolutions issue, there is some ambiguity (at least in
my mind) about when a draft resolution becomes an initial resolution.
Regardless, we await a call for co-sponsors from David, for his resolution
which will become Resolution 0011.
 
 
Best wishes
 
Martin Baldwin-Edwards
Secretary, CZ Editorial Council

Dear Supten
 
I will be away and incommunicado in Germany for 4 days (11-14 June). I hope
that any delays in dealing with requests will not be too problematic; I set
the voting deadline for Res 10 so that I can cope with it on my return.
 
By another email to you I have forwarded my email to David Volk about his
Res 11, which suddenly appeared on the Resolutions list! I think we need to
protect all these pages that only you and I should edit, as there have been
several incidents where member of the EC edited things they should not have.
You may have noticed that I have protected quite a few official pages
recently, which is because of those incidents.
 
Best wishes
 
Martin

Subject: [Cz-editcouncil] Call for new Resolutions

Dear All,
There are quite a few proposals at
[http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Proposals/Editorial_Council ].
The "Drivers" for some of these are EC members. However, in a few cases the
drivers are not EC members. Nevertheless, any EC member can put forth those
resolutions in the format of Resolution 0009
[http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Editorial_Council_Resolution_0009 ] 
or Resolution 0010
[http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Editorial_Council_Resolution_0010 ].
Some of these may be adopted by "acclamation", i.e., without voting, if
there is no objection from the EC members.
The details for making a new resolution are available at:
[http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Editorial_Council_How_to_Make_a_Resolutio
n ].
With warmest regards
Supten Sarbadhikari
The Chair, Editorial Council, Citizendium:
