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.

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.

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.
