Temporary Forum Closures (including DISCUSS RULES)

[CaDan]

CL, you're a conciliator. Is there good progress being made?

Well, no. Some has been made. There is a lot of "hurry up and wait" going on because things like different forum settings need to be done by different people. I wish things were moving in a more orderly manner.

I have a feeling it will be a crazy weekend coming up as we rush rush rush to get things going. We'll be open for business on the 11th, but things will be pretty creaky for a few days.

As far as I knew, we were just waiting for Erwin to set up the forum/subforum we need to do the job and for AA to flip the switch on June 11.

Thanks Crazy Liz - I'll check with the Support team to see if we're ready.

Erwin's in queue to change that forum's parameters.

 

[ClarityofPurpose]

I'm sorry. I was under the impression that this thread was for discussing all of the forums which are currently closed. not just the rules forum. Where can I find information on what's going on with those other forums and when they will be opened?

 

[constance]

hopefully DR will be open and the PM and PD forums can be discussed in their appropriate subforums.

 

[TomUK]

Very excited about whatever the announcement is going to be regarding definitions. I hope discussions are going well. (I know, this is off topic from the OP, but everyone else is doing it! )

 

[constance]

Tom we're looking at that.

And it's OK to be very excited.

 

[Crazy Liz]

The Conciliators are ready & reporting for duty.

[ClarityofPurpose]

Crazy Liz: does this mean we can expect an early reopening?

 

[CaDan]

Final details of our crazy, patchwork system are being put together right now.

As soon as the Support staff are ready.

I've been champing at the bit for several days. Ready, willing and poised for action.

Crazy Liz, I'm hearing different stories, that you guys still need a few hours to discuss on your end. Is everything completely set on the conciliator end? The Conciliator agreement of what's going on affects the support team's ability to tie up the loose ends on their side.

Thanks.

The Support team is making changes we were requested to make. We need time for the team to read the new protocol and stuff.

Tom we're looking at that.

And it's OK to be very excited.

Looking at something and doing something about it are not the same.

Will whoever the new ombudsman choice will be - be ready and in place when this new forum opens? I did read that joykins is resigning. Wouldnt it be best that a new one be ready too?

That one's in Erwin's hands right now.

 

[Angel4Truth]

Well considering this "new" questions forum is to be a joint effort between support and the ombudsman/conciliator team and joykins has stated she is resigning and doesnt have time to be on here anymore - wouldnt you think it best that a new ombudsman be placed and ready to oversee this implimentation since the ombudsman is the headship of the concliator team to begin with?
