I support Sala and Jeremy for such provisioning to make the things/ activities/ processes more clearly defined by the Charter document, if possible quickly, without delaying the already accepted amendments for voting.
As the Charter amendment is in not a common and regular activity and requires completion of processes, as described in the charter in related section:
"Any options that may remain in the draft charter after thirty (30) days, will also be voted on as part of the charter acceptance process. In the case that there are options, the vote will be organized to first ask for acceptance, as described above, of the basic charter with options left unresolved. The same ballot will also include a vote on the options. For each case where there are options, the option that receives the most votes will be selected.
Thanks
Imran
