Member voting and such

It's become apparent lately that certain people out there really, really like mutations... like, maybe a little bit TOO much.

So, in my capacity as Glorious and Magnanimous President-for-Life (just kidding), I'm using this space to open a discussion regarding the use of mutations in Talossan.

Apparently the 2010 Arestada provides a little too much leeway regarding the indication of mutations in orthography.

I move that in the next Arestada, we specify that, although people may say certain words in certain ways (like la Phrovinçù, apparently. Although I've never said the P as anything but an IPA /p/ and it sounds silly to me with that /f/ sound), that these are not usually indicated in writing, with the exception of the post-prepositional pronouns (try and say THAT five times fast!), possessive pronouns (e.g. la mhéa, &c.) and fossilized constructions like c'estev'iensa vholta and la mha.

Would anyone else like to weigh in here?

I would. Before I do, could someone check whether I was ever chucked out of the CúG or if I'm still a member?

Yeah, you were chucked out. Or chucked yourself out, depending on how you look at it. In 2004, the CÚG decided that membership was for citizens of Talossa and anyone who had renounced their citizenship had also quit the CÚG. Conveniently, that meant Ben himself was officially out of the CÚG when he renounced in 2005. But it also meant Tomás was out when he also renounced that year. By 2006, only Q was left on the rolls, and he got the organization going again by (unanimously!) voting in new members (me and Lord Hooligan).

If you want back in, I'm sure that can be arranged. I would also be open to formally amending the charter to make it clear that membership is not connected to Talossan citizenship. But then we'd also want to make it easier to purge inactive members.

I agree (strongly) with the second paragraph. (Well, purging inactive members isn't important. Many academies and academic societies have inactive members on the rolls and it harms nobody.)

In any case, I hereby formally announce my desire to be readmitted to the CÚG.

Then I nominate you. Upon a second, you are a candidate member, and after six months as a candidate member you can request a vote to become a full voting member. The charter and a list of current members is available at cuglang.com (except I don't think it's been updated to list Epic as a candidate member).

Secundéu acest.

[Iustì Carlüs Canun]

Moved this so the original thread could be just about the mutation issue.

But I also assent to M:sr Anglatzarâ's un-de-memberification.

[Iustì Carlüs Canun]

Also, I'm pretty sure it's been six months for most of the candidate members (listed below), so I call for a vote.

Ieremiac'h Ventrutx (last online 12 March)
Tomás Gariçéir, UrGP (last online 24 September)
Ceváglh Scurznicol (last online 4 January)
Txec Nordselva (online as I type this)

I vote ÜC regarding D:r Nordselva, and I will abstain for now on the others, due to lengthy absences. If/When they show up again, I shall revise this.

What says the Comità?

[Dr. Txec dal Nordselvă]

bump!

[Hooligan]

Votéu ÜC över la membrità da S:r da Nordselva.

Es qi (isch-ça solamint me?) uppdatarha el siteu WWW dal CÚG (zemimhoct, zemimhoct)?

(Es benvenescu à S:r Anglatazarâ; benvenescu arüc per sigür!)

Hool

[Sir C. M. Siervicül]

I vote üc for D:r Nordselva as well. Regarding the others, the Charter says that it's up to the candidate member to call for a vote.

[Iustì Carlüs Canun]

Um... We kind of just trailed off voting for D:r Nordselva's full membership. Since it's been so long, I'm prepared to call it good, provided there are no objections. Anyone?

[Dr. Txec dal Nordselvă]

Bueller? Bueller?

[Óïn Ursüm]

Üc from me; no objections here.

[Iustì Carlüs Canun]

Okay, if no one raises an objection by... let's say Tuesday, I'll consider him a full member.
