Vote:
Implement Weekly Agendas for 1 month as an experiment.
How it works:
Every week, we discuss and vote on the current agenda, and decide next week's agenda.
The agenda is voted on from Monday UTC to Friday UTC. On the last second of Friday UTC, votes close.
Proposals require at least 3 total votes to be included in next weeks agenda. Proposals can be added from Monday UTC to the last second of Friday UTC.
How it's implemented:
Agenda thread:
This thread's OP has the agenda for the week. The OP will link to different threads with each item in the agenda. This will also be the thread where people can propose items for next week and given votes so that they will be added to next weeks agenda.
Item thread:
A thread is created for each item to be voted on in the agenda. This is where discussion can happen and mods can vote on the item.
Midnight Friday UTC
When Friday ends, the votes close. The entire board is archived to /assembly_archive/.
Monday UTC
A new Agenda thread is created, and the OP links to all the Item threads to be voted on this week.
Exceptions and notes
Extraordinary votes can be made, but a case must be made for their urgency. To initiate a request to make an item extraordinary, you need to provide justification, and gather seven (7) votes in less than 3 days.
This will last at most 1 month, after which, a vote to keep doing it this way must be made in order to continue doing it. A vote to revoke this system can be made at any time. This implementation is subject to tweaking as we see fit during the 1 month experiment.
Pros:
- Mitigates "creating/imagining crisis" and "satanic panics" that are better dealt with, with a sober head.
- Mitigates the tendency to make impulsive decisions.
- Gives people time to talk and think about votes.
- Votes aren't pushed out randomly at sporadic times.
- Easier to understand what is being decided on each week.
- There is time to rest (Sat - Sun) no need to think about expiring votes on the weekend.
- Easier communication to community about what is being decided.

>>893 (OP)most of my reservation against such a system is there needs to be a commitment to uphold this kind of structure which we regularly do not adequately demonstrate, like keeping up the assembly archives or even regularly updating the matrix voting room with ongoing proposals or votes. especially recently mods have been dropping in and out of service for various reasons, I feel like the system needs a baseline of stability and reliable commitment by the moderators for it to properly work.
all that said since its a trial run, why the fuck not.
vote aye.

>>893 (OP)I'm willing to try it, sure thing.
I'd just like to point out though that since involves a change to the voting system itself, this vote should probably take place over 7 days in compliance with the vote we passed a while ago. Unless it gets 7 updoots in which case I guess it doesn't matter.
