We managed well enough to compromise on a fair proposal.  Cooler heads
usually prevail.  ;-)

AS> I believe it will pass. But we'll get a long run for the next amendment

Anything worthwhile is worth waiting for. Remember... we've waited 13
years for this one.  

AS>  BS> Not as I understand it.  Ward knows it is important to have as many

AS>  BS> vote of the RC's.  I believe he is close to that point now.
 
AS> Why RCs ? Do we have a network where RCs define a policy ?

At this stage they do, in that they are the group rsponsible for
deciding whether an amendment proceeds to the balloting phase.
IE: Initiation.

AS> Do you mean you agree to serve as RO/VO for the poll ?
AS> You know, I'm crazy enough to run the poll :-)

You've been reading FN_SYSOP too much.    We don't need polls
at this point... we need to let people (*C's especially) that this
amendment is in progress, and urge them to read and voice their
opinions on it.

The best we can do now is get as many translations out to them as 
soon as we can.  I recieved your netmail, and will respond here:
If you have read the Snoose article I wrote, translate that and
sent it to your RC, and ask him to cross-post it in his regional
echos for sysop input, and then netmail Ward with his vote for or
against a referendum.

Bob
