<blockquote type="cite">Thanks everyone, we now have enough support to put this amendment to a vote, which I'll do in conjunction with the coordinator ballot as soon as I have the last remaining candidate's statement and have compiled the latest voter list.

You have you 10 champions for the idea. But approving an amendment takes a fair number of voters. I.e. 2/3 of those who are currently deemed as members based on the previous vote. Getting 2/3 is never a shoe in.<br>

Of course I am sure Jeremy did not really mean that we should stop talking about, it just read that way to me. so i pounced.<br></blockquote><br></div>Good call Avri, I just meant that there was no need for more proposers saying "me too", which could be considered as list noise.

The "whenever possible" seems to imply that the 2 month rule is the exception. Too open... I like openness but for me that means we don't make rules unless they're necessary; and if they are and we make them, then they better be sharp with regard to their purpose and to the extent possible!</div>
