Hello everyone!
We've received a handful of questions about proposals and the upcoming PM/EHC. Since a few folks have asked, the questions are probably prevalent in others' minds as well. Below is a brief treatise for all who are interested. If you have additional questions, please feel free to reach out. Thank you for being engaged in our community's regulatory process!

How to See/Approve Proposals
We've put together this doc with some instructions and screenshots of the necessary RealmsNet navigation: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rTak2T_7-_m6SfyR6aVp0XSCa4765vKWpJuCJLj25hQ/edit?usp=sharing
Dates and Locations
We're working on reserving in-person space that could theoretically facilitate hybrid meetings (as the prior EHC passed a standing policy encouraging hybrid meetings). That space and the practicality of a hybrid approach is still undetermined, but we are aiming for mid-February through early March Saturdays for the two meetings. The locations we are considering are in Nashua, NH and Worcester, MA.
Proposal Approvals
The EHC passed a standing policy requiring at least 30 members of the community to support any given proposal before it will be discussed at the meeting. This includes day-of proposals - the standing policy specifically states: "This support and the proposal must be submitted to the organizer(s) of the Players’ Meeting before discussion on any tabled or other day-of proposals." As has been the case for well over a decade, proposals receiving the approval of at least 10 EHs able to attend and vote at the upcoming EHC can bypass the PM if that approval is registered at least a week before the PM. Time permitting, proposals that bypass the PM will still get discussion time at the PM.
