I wouldn't use the term 'apathy' to describe it. It just often seems that people get busy with other things. Life, school, holidays, all those things can derail a discussion and delay a decision.

Sure, if someone hasn't been around for a while, the group can make decisions without them, although it is certainly polite to seek their opinion. Also, not all admins have a passion for the same topic. I was passionate about the role playing issue when most weren't and since I felt strongest about it, I carried it through to a "final" vote and change of policy. Spencer is a dutiful watchman of the TRNs, and he drives most of the discussion on that. But just because some admins are not as passionate as others about particular topics doesn't mean they are apathetic or have no opinion.

Going forward, I definitely think we could be more unified and more proactive about changes. If some admins favor one direction and the others do not voice an opinion (for whatever reason) we should move forward. There is a time for discussion and a time for action. But let's be mindful of times where the discussion might lag for a while and not be hasty in pushing things through. It may sound like I'm asking to stall more on current discussions and I guess I am for the sake of the holidays. But let's not drop them. The reason they were brought up is that the status quo could be improved.
