No, I think those decisions needed to be made here along with there. Chan790 Feb 2012 #19

To be fair, no decisions beyond the SOP have been made at all... ellisonz Feb 2012 #20

I'll be drafting a counter-proposal then. Chan790 Feb 2012 #26

Truthfully - ohheckyeah Feb 2012 #45

But we haven't agreed on anything yet... Leopolds Ghost Feb 2012 #49

Why can't the DU2 work be presented here and accepted or not by us all? Why would anyone want to Vincardog Feb 2012 #33

Well, pardon me for not reading the terms of service UnrepentantLiberal Feb 2012 #17

I wish you'd stay active in this conversation. Chan790 Feb 2012 #22

Alright, I'll keep an eye on it. UnrepentantLiberal Feb 2012 #23

The du2 draft guidelines thought to mention about activist credentials Leopolds Ghost Feb 2012 #39

What if hosts enforced SoP by Leopolds Ghost Feb 2012 #50
