[Cz-editcouncil] Mistaken posting

[Volk, David E.]

Larry, following the rules that you listed below is what got me into this mess to start with.  We need to re-write these directions.

"All truth passes through three stages:
                   First, it is ridiculed.
      Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident"

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_List
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

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

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_Resolution ].
With warmest regards
Supten Sarbadhikari
The Chair, Editorial Council, Citizendium: [http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Category:CZ_Editorial_Council_Members ]
