[USML Announce] USML Rules Voting

It takes a majority vote to change our rules.
 
I suspect -- but do not know for certain -- that an overwhelming majority of
the league believes that we should revise our rules regarding the creation
of asterisk players through the FAAB process.  If the only question is how
to change things then I think we should simply discard the low vote getting
alternative and revote on the remaining options until one has a majority.
 
I believe that any of the suggested alternatives is better than no change.
If a majority of the league agrees with that notion then our task is much
easier.
 
Do any of you feel that we should not revise our rules to address the
situation?
 
Do any of you think that any of the alternatives is inferior to our current
situation?
 
Your views on the preceding two questions will inform our decision on how to
proceed with the voting on this matter.

Question regarding our options for 3: What if a majority of owners are in
favor of doing something about the "creation fix" problem but a majority
doesn't support any one of the three alternatives?  Will there be a run-off
of the plurality selection (a,b, or c) against the option of doing nothing?

Gang --
 
  There are by my count a total of five rule proposals.  Three of the rules
proposals suggest a fix for the same problem (the "creation" of asterisk
players) and the other two proposals are free-standing.  In order to permit
meaningful voting, I believe you should vote for only ONE of the three
"creation" fix proposals, and then yes or no on the remainder.  In short
form, the rules proposals are as follows:
 
1.  Permit trading of FAAB Dollars
 
2.  Count statistics of players traded to the NL
 
3.  Creation fix proposals
 
   a.  E-bay bidding proposal
 
   b.  Skinny FAAB proposal (reduction of FAAB budgets to $20)
 
   c.  Players acquired throug FAAB cannot be asterisk players
 
  Please submit vote by February 10; feel free to make comments on the
proposals either in your vote or separately, but make sure your vote is
clear.
 
  Thanks.
