 PK> Policy 4, Section 8 is titled Referenda. To invoke Section 8 REQUIRES
 PK> a  proposer to place something BEFORE the RC's, so the RC's do 
 PK> NOT initiate Section 8. Section 8.1 that everyone quotes is 
 PK> the RC's RESPONSE to that request.

   Section 8 does not say where a proposal for a new policy comes from
   -- and in my view, that is a defect which we are trying to correct.

 PK> So the RC's do NOT start the referendum process (which I 
 PK> take to be 8 through to 8.6, ignoring the impeachment part 
 PK> at 8.7+).

   In your view, according to the existing policy where does the
   referendum process start if not with the RCs?
