[governance] < 24 hours remaining to vote YES + thematic working

[Carlos A. Afonso]

I have to disagree with my friend Bill's procedure. Perfect or not, the 
coordinator had to go ahead with the voting at some point, and we all 
seemed to agree with it. I think the time to keep insisting on the 
possible imperfections is way past now. I think compa Parm also raised 
questions during the voting which should have been brought to discussion 
earlier, but he rapidly agreed to abide by the voting process now under way.

Of course, this being a diverse and democratic space, we all can express 
our disagreement with the content of the motion after the voting and 
make these clear in the MAG consultation process.

IMHO

When corporate lobbyists or others ask that language be included, I don't take it upon myself to decide this gets in, this stays out, this I'll reword to suit my views rather than those of the person who made the suggestion—even if I strongly disagree with it.  If there's no obvious consensus it goes in brackets and then we try to work it out.  We used to do things that way in the IGC, and I don't recall us deciding on a more centralized approach.
