<p>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.
<b>It is now time for members who have not spoken on the motions
at the SGM to have the opportunity to do so</b>. 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.<br>
</p>
<p>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. <br>
