| Robert's Rules provides a mechanism for anonymous voting. Do we need this? |

I'm not sure we need to address this at this time given the size of the group that's engaged in decision making. I think we should defer and add something to address the need when it arises.

I didn't realize that RRO has anon voting but it makes sense. If we ever encounter a contentious issue it would be helpful to have.

Do you mean this is something you would like to address now, @arecvlohe?

I don't think we need it now. We can address/add it when we think it is needed.

| * ballot: A ballot is a pull request. Pull requests may be opened at any time by any member of the board or organization, similar to how Robert's Rules states that attendees may bring up business not on the agenda. | ||
| * motion: A motion act of opening a pull request. | ||
| * second: A second is a quorum of approvals of the pull request by the board. | ||
| * floor: During board meetings, the floor is the right of a board member to speak. On a pull request, the floor is the right of board members and community members to engage in reasonable helpful discussion about an issue. |

Since this is a proposal, I guess the next step is to add it to our by laws?

Yep. Do we want to do that in the same pull request?

Hi all -- love this. In case it's helpful, here's an example of how @hyphacoop does cryptographically signing resolutions remotely: And an example of how it looks (if we could somehow make https://keybase.io/verify form auto-populate, this'd be waaay nicer flow, but whatevs): EDIT: Also, |
…and pull request approvals.

Squashed and updated my email address on the commit to match my public key. |
Robert's Rules of Order are old-fashioned, heavy-handed, and designed to solve many problems we don't have as a board who meets remotely and whose discussions are long-running and constant.
Here is my proposal to replace most of Robert's Rules with a git pull request-based protocol for proposing actions, discussing them, and voting.
