 "expires 3 weeks after being voted on" does not specify that the board of directors voted on it versus membership voting on it. skm
+== pointless or dangerous  ==
+I think this "auto propose a vote" thing is bad.
+It does not do anything good for the space.   There is no trade this for that for a net gain.  There is a cost (the voting process), there is no gain, so the ROI is negative.
+(bare with the 2 levels of voting here.  We are voting on how to vote, so the word vote doesn't always reference the same thing.)
+There is a 2x2 grid of choices made up of (this proposed vote (A)pass, (B)not pass) x (members (1)agree, (2)disagree)
+A1, A2, B1, B2.
+(A) Assume this proposed vote passes and now the members have to vote on all policies voted on and passed by the BoD.
+There are two possible outcomes of such votes: pass or not pass.  (not meeting quorum just delays the outcome.)
+ (1) If the vote passes, nothing changes.  The existing policy is still in affect.
+ (2) If the vote does not pass, the policy is no longer in effect.  This leaves PS1 in an undefined state that is probably bad.  In the case of any of the 3 pseudo policies, PS1 no longer has insurance (or something that is essentially that.)
+(B) Proposed vote does not pass
+ (1) the board did stuff, the members keep hacking.
+ (2) Someone doesn't like what the board did.  they propose a vote of something different.  The members vote on it.
+B2 is really a subset of our current process: Someone wants something that requires a vote and follows the existing procedure.
+A1 - voting paperwork
+A2 - voting paperwork and possibly undesirable
+B1 - no paperwork
+B2 - voting paperwork and probably desirable but maybe undesirable because evil future members.
+My Summary: all this really does is force the membership to vote and pass more things.  That is annoying work.
+There will also be debates on what is and isn't a policy that needs to be voted on, not because anyone want's to over turn it, but we want to follow this rule we put in place.
+I think the chance of the members revoking a policy is basically 0.
+If that 0 event happens, we currently don't know what state that will leave things in.
+I suspect there is a good chance it leaves us in a bad state and PS1 just shot itself in the foot.
+We currently have the ability to shot ourselves, so passing this vote dose not give anyone any more abilities.
