Based on this part of the File770 post, it sounds like that's exactly what they're doing just with extra steps?

And 🙋🏻‍♀️ I can't be the only one who'd rather see that then tabling them, right?
"The resolutions will still be brought to the floor of the Business Meeting, but the substance of the charges will not be allowed to be discussed. Instead, Glasgow 2024, availing themselves of procedures in Robert’s Rules of Order, Newly Revised, will treat the censure resolution as “a motion to form a committee on investigation as the first step in disciplinary proceedings.” This committee will be elected by the meeting to conduct an investigation into the allegations contained in the resolutions — including a reasonable attempt to speak with the members accused — and report back to the 2025 Business Meeting in Seattle, USA."

Two stills from the NBC sitcom Brooklyn Nine Nine in which Gina Linetti is talking to her coworkers. Pic 1: "The English language cannot fully capture the depth and complexity of my thoughts, so I'm incorporating emojis into my speech to better express myself." - Gina Pic 2: "Winkey face." - Also Gina

Alfons Mucha's posters of Parisian Actress Sarah Bernhardt (bottom left) are hands down some of my all time favorite paintings. All different and all absolutely exquisite.
Czech Art Nouveau painter Alfons Mucha's work "Sarah Bernhardt as La Princesse Lointaine: poster for 'La Plume' magazine" (1897) Czech Art Nouveau painter Alfons Mucha's work "Poster for 'Médée' " (1898) in which Parisian actress Sarah Berndhart is depicted as Medea from the famous Greek tragedy of her and Jason of the Argonauts Czech Art Nouveau painter Alfons Mucha's "Poster for ’Gismonda’ (1894)." Mucha's first collaboration with Parisian actress Sarah Berndhart and it's the work that first made him famous. Czech Art Nouveau painter Alfons Mucha's "Poster for 'Lorenzaccio' (1896)" in which Parisian actress Sarah Berndhart is depicted as the male character Lorenzo de' Medici

Cheryl Morgan, who runs the Hugo website, has a really useful thread here: bsky.app/profile/cher... (but don't shoot the messenger none of this is on her!!)

Also this question posed in her blog post is the smartest thing I've seen on the subject so far:
"Stupidity is also being ascribed to the Chengdu committee. If I wanted to fix the results of the Hugos, there are two ways I would go about it. The first is that I would put out an entirely falsified set of nomination statistics. After all, the ballots will have been destroyed by now. How would anyone know that they were false? The other option is to simply not issue the nomination statistics at all. Sure, they are supposed to, but there is no effective comeback if you don’t do it, and the outrage at them not doing so is likely to be far less than what is happening right now. Instead they have chosen to put out a set of nomination statistics that makes it very clear that shenanigans have taken place. Maybe we should be thinking about why they did that."
