Walter added those; I've only maintained the new motions.

Its a wiki, you can edit it, so if you'd like the old motions in 2014 and
earlier to be numbered, please do it :)

I think this is a misreading; please pay attention to the comments in
brackets at the end of each motion, recording the votes visible to members,
where you can see that 6 of the last 7 motions were not seconded, which I
can not interpret as "decisive action."

Check the history; I have done so.

I have done so.

I believe those motions were posted via email to be voted on at the board
meeting, so while the board didn't have time to second or vote on them in
the meeting - due to the inefficient way the meetings are conducted - they
were posted and thus stand as failed.

But I have removed them, since they are duplicate motions.

The dates in the headlines are the dates the motions were required to have
been voted on; if they didn't get a quorum of votes on that date, they
automatically failed.

I've added an explanation about this to the top of the page :)

That's correct; no motions have been posted within the last 7 days that I
am aware of, but, since SLOBs email list is used for posting motions, it is
possible there were motions that I as a member am not aware of.
