MOTION: It is proposed that Cyberspace Communications Bylaw Article 5 be replaced by the following: ARTICLE 5: VOTING PROCEDURES a. Any member of Grex may make a motion by entering it as the text of a discussion item in a computer conference on Grex designated for this purpose. The item is then used for discussion of the motion. All Grex users may participate in the discussion. No action on the motion is taken for two weeks. b. In order for the motion to be voted on, at least 10% of the eligible voting membership must endorse bringing the proposal to a vote. Endorsement shall consist of a statement by the member in the discussion item agreeing that the motion should be voted on. A member may withdraw his or her endorsement at any time prior to the close of the endorsement period as defined in section (c) below. c. When at least two weeks have passed, the author may post a final wording of the motion and request that it be voted on. Following posting of the final wording, members shall have forty-eight hours to add an endorsement or withdraw a previous endorsement. At the end of this period, if the motion has the necessary number of endorsements, it shall be voted on. The vote is begun as soon as feasible and is conducted online over a period of ten days. If within thirty days from the date that the item was posted the author does not request a vote or the necessary number of endorsements have not been obtained, the motion is considered to have lapsed and is not eligible for voting. d. Simultaneous voting on two or more motions is permissible, subject to limitations of the voting software. However, two motions may not be voted on simultaneously if one is contradictory to or implies a modification of effect to the other. In such a case, the motion posted first shall take precedence in voting order. e. A motion will be considered to have passed if more votes were cast in favor than against, except as provided for bylaw amendments. f. For voting purposes, a day will run midnight to midnight, local Grex time. In the event of continuous system downtime of 24 hours or more, the voting period will be adjusted to compensate. ***************** VOTE RESULTS: This vote was proposed in Co-op 13, item #122, response #43.
