Fair ? Where more then one person are crowded together we must forget
about fairness. Life is life :-)

I believe it will pass. But we'll get a long run for the next amendment
too :(

 AS>> Do we have deadline for this particular amendment ?

 BS> Not as I understand it.  Ward knows it is important to have as many
 BS> RC's know about and understand the proposal before calling an official

Why RCs ? Do we have a network where RCs define a policy ?

 AS>  BS>> Even then, such must be presented to the IC, who then

 AS>> Does it really matter who conducts the poll ? I think the main aim

I'd like to get a true picture, not the one that suits my dreams :-)

 BS> I would even suggest archiving the nore repetitive ones

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

 AS>  BS>> Our proposal has met these criteria, as should any future

 AS>> You've done great work. Is it impossibility or your tiredness that

 BS> Thanks, but the "you" is plural...  ;-)

The "you" is very tricky word :-)

Bye, Sinc, Alex
