What about a limit on how long Hosts can serve? and other matters

[Bolo Boffin]

8. People move up automatically on the host list.

That's the only problem with what you've laid out. There aren't slots, per se. If a midline host was to step down or be removed, then the people below that move up. Any new host is added at the bottom.

But that's just details to get work out. I think you've got the right idea about how it should work.

Also, any host has the power of removing hosts below them or adding anyone as host. So if the alternating positions get mixed up, hosts should expect the top host to remove and add them to get that order correct again, maintaining seniority as much as possible. As an example, #4 steps down and #6 (the next likeminded host) would take that spot. To do it, #1, #2, or #3 would remove #4 AND #5. #6 would then automatically be #4. Then a higher host would reinstate #5.

I think your unanimous vote for removal of a host by the other 5 is best. The hosts will hear about it from other members of the group. Of course a host can step down anytime they like.

I think hosts should have all the normal group host abilities for right now. If the group goes nuclear, then maybe reconsider that later. Perhaps like the Senate, the group hosts should make their own rules for doing whatnot.

And I too was hoping others would drop on by. Perhaps DU2 to DU3 is all the social contract we can really deal with changing right now. There's a lot of acrimony to hack through here in CS.
