I agree with you in principle, Ian, but I think we are more likely to get
progress and agreement if we go piece by piece, than if we try to do it
as a complete reform package. I suggest that we continue to gather
support for these amendments, and then continue the process.<br>

<dd>while I having no problem with this wording, I would prefer if we are
going through charter amendments that we do so taking into account the
charter reform group recommendations as well (as mentioned by Jeremy
recently). In other words, lets do the whole package.<br>

amending the charter, everyone who voted in the previous election will be
deemed a member for amending the charter.<br>
