DavidLucifer: Mermaid was confused by the terminology. What exactly does "establish" mean here? A flow chart of the different phases would be very helpful.
[VectorHermit] Before spending time on a graphic lets try to get it worked out in words. As I understand it, we agreed that:
* A reputation of 6 or better (now [Magister|VirianMagister]) on [Meridion] is required to edit the [Wiki|VirianWiki]. As a vote must be proposed here on the [Wiki|VirianWiki] first, that puts a bottom limit to who can propose votes.
-* The approval of four [Council|VirianCouncil] Members which may include
the head of the Council (now [ArchVectors|VirianArchVector] and [PrimeVector|VirianPrimeVector] respectively) is required to establish (to create the vote entry on [Meridion] and open it for voting) a [vote|VirianVoting],

** although
* The establishment of a [vote|VirianVoting] is permitted without approval of four [Council|VirianCouncil] Members (now [ArchVectors|VirianArchVector]) if a page where there is a call for a vote is not edited or objected to for 3 days.
* A reputation of 7 or better (now [Luminary|VirianLuminary]) is required to establish (to create the vote entry and open it for voting) the vote on [Meridion].
-[VectorHermit] This means that as previously determined, voting is a __cooperative__ venture. It appears to me that as the situation currently stands, a [Virian] with a reputation below [Luminary|VirianLuminary] can propose a vote on the [Wiki|VirianWiki], but that the vote would have to be placed on [Meridion] by a [VirianLuminaries
|VirianLuminary].

!Mermaid suggested that this level of qualification should only be necessary for votes on policy.
NB Terminology corrected above. We changed the meaning of Vector to council member and back to general member without updating this clause.
