[UK-TUG] Discussion of motion DS1

[Jay Hammond]

This thread is busy. There is a lot to read. Too much. Debate is not 
about developing ideas. That should have been done in advance. It is 
about presenting prepared ideas for decision.  That is why motions have 
a role to play. In our case, they (should) encapsulate one or more  
executable instructions to the committee. *It is now time for members 
who have not spoken on the motions at the SGM to have the opportunity to 
do so*.  Turn-taking in debates is different to ordinary discussion. 
Would members who have already spoken please behave in a way that will 
encourage other members to speak. (I suggest be quieter or go outside to 
talk)  There are strict rules in face to face debates. This e-SGM can 
work better than that if members use good sense and cooperation.

Members who wish to discuss  and develop continuation details,  a 
replacement for UKTUG, a new constitution or other topics  should do 
that elsewhere. I don't suggest the venue for these talks. But to assist 
coordination, I suggest that interested members go to UKTUF,  to arrange 
the time and  venue. And return to this meeting please, in time to 
inform themselves and vote.
