<font face="Arial">Hi Fearghas and all,<br>
<br>
This is the first time all of this has come up, because it is the first
charter amendment vote, so the charter rules were never tested in a
practical situation. We are working on a clarification, precisely for
the reasons you and others have stated very clearly here.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your input and patience. <br>
<br>
Best, Ginger<br>

My concern about the capture rules which are fine in principle is the
the fact that you may not be able to vote on charter changes for a
random period of time ranging from just over 2 months to 14 months.
<br>
<br>
If it was fixed in the middle, say 6-8 months on the list, that would
be understandable but I don't see why such a wide ranging period of
time is acceptable.
<br>
<br>
Perhaps for future charter changes an addition should be made to this
change setting a fixed time period as happens with voting for
coordinators, I would suggest 6 months bit since I am voteless I will
leave it to others to propose a timescale to protect the charter from
"drive by" abuse.
