Hey folks, if you were there for the last GM meeting you might recall that it went a little long and it seems like we came out of it not entirely clear on how our proposals needed to look when being presented to the GM. To hopefully address both of these, I'm preparing an agenda document that I will share with all GMs before the meeting.
The agenda is going to list all of the topics we are going to cover and provide some details for you before we go in. I'm splitting things into two categories: Proposals that we can nominate for a vote and proposals that need further discussion. So in the document, those proposals that are ready for nomination will be clearly delineated and approved by their original authors and we will just have an up and down vote on whether to include it for the entire league to vote on. Those proposals that require some fine-tuning will be discussed to see if we can't come up with some wording that makes sense to the GMs present and then move it to the nomination process.
So, as a group we will first got through those proposals that have been set aside for discussion and come up with a solid written proposal. Once that's done, we'll take the proposals from both categories and vote on whether to present them to the GMs as a whole. It will be the responsibility of those of us at the summit to try and curate a list of potential rule changes that makes sense for the league at this time. There are a LOT of proposals and it seems pretty clear to me that offering up 10+ rule changes at once is a capital B BAD idea.
I've sent out messages to GMs who have posted their proposals in the original Summit Thread to make sure they still want those ideas included and to let them know whether I plan on including each one as a proposal for nomination or a topic for discussion. I'm eager to hear your feedback.
Looking forward to seeing your smiling faces soon!
