<p>Good questions Clarence,</p>
<p>These procedures are based on a principle of "just enough
process". Enough to provide a guiding framework without burdening
people with red tape. It relies on volunteers thinking
altruistically to apply common sense and good judgement.</p>
<p>I've noticed that if intrinsically motivated people are selected
to join a community, and you assume the community will act wisely
and in the interests of all, then most people in the community do
act wisely and in the interests of all (and everyone has more fun
in the process).</p>
<p>Communities with more rules do work and I'm open to adopting
them. But I feel the red tape overhead doesn't add enough value to
make it worth adopting.</p>
<p>Cheers, Cameron<br>

<div>Additional questions:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Would we ever want a quorum voting in order for an item to
be able to pass? (If not all the time, then for important
issues?)</li>
<li>Is there any sort of guideline about what questions
require a vote? (What questions are too small to be worth
the overhead, and what questions must be voted?)</li>
</ul>
