As CM for Ashes of Eden, I hereby propose the following addition to Character Regulation 10.c.ii, more commonly known as Bump Bump Pass.  Added text is in red.  As this is an Amended version, it will require a Second again.


 

C. Registration time frame

  1. Items that require a Council vote may be submitted by the chronicle’s Council Member or the Archivist and, if passed, be registered in the database by the Archivist no more than 10 days after the closing of the vote.

  2. Items that require Coordinator Approval have to be answered by the responsible Coordinator within 14 days of the request being sent to the proper e-mail or contact form as defined by the Coordinator.
     

    1. If the request is not answered at all in this period of time, the item will be considered approved. For this to happen, the person requesting the item must bump the request at least twice during this time frame.

    2. Should a coordinator need further information to make his decision, the period will be reset from the moment that the requested information is given.

    3. If for some reason the Coordinator is not able to make this decision within the time frame, an extension can be requested to the Executive Team.

    4. The 14 day period is automatically extended for the duration of the below time frames;

      1. Between the 4th Thursday in November to January 3rd.

      2. From the beginning of Genre Coordinator Elections until one week after they have concluded.

    5. Any time an item passes via this method, the archivist will notify council said action occurred. (Specifics are not required, simply [responsible Coordinator] had an auto-approval processed)

Reasoning:  There are a variety of holidays in the first time period, particularly those of historically marginalized groups and faiths.  Likewise, many people are spending time with visiting family, getting far busier at work for the season, or otherwise engaged in things we should recognize as being more important than game.  As part of the Org's alleged commitment to showing more respect to Coordinators, I would like to think that a simple Holiday Block where requests are given greater time to process is pretty reasonable.  We should let our Coordinators focus more on things not related to game during a time of year when, at least here in America, there's a lot of other stuff going on.
 
Likewise, it really should be spelled out that you can't bump bump pass things in the middle of elections, and for a week after to give any newly elected Coords a chance to catch up.
 
This proposal still leaves a solid 44 weeks each year where bump-bump-pass is still a thing.
