[LSC] LSC 2007-2008 procedures

[Travis Cobbs]

If you take a look at the LSC charter (my name for it; document is titled
LSC Final Draft, which doesn't seem very descriptive), you'll see that it's
up to the LSC itself to determine its procedures.  While not explicitly
stated, there is an implication that this is to be done by each LSC.  So you
might take a look at the charter here (specifically the Procedures section):

http://www.ldraw.org/Article382.html

Last year, we decided that for votes, a simple majority would carry a vote,
and that abstentions counted as a "no" vote.  Personally, I think this
worked out fine, although having one of the members disappear meant that yes
votes effectively required 3 out of 4, instead of the intended 3 out of 5.
We should probably come up with a procedure for filling an early vacancy,
and define a vacancy by default.  (How long does a member have to be
unresponsive before they're considered gone?)

Everything else was pretty open.  Anybody who wanted to could (and did) make
a call for votes.  Anyone could bring up things they thought we should
discuss, and we generally tried to accomplish the tasks that the community
wanted accomplished.  William took the lead on a lot of the issues,
particularly in the second half of the term.

I'm happy with the way things were handled last year, but am certainly open
to changes.
