[governance] Notice to the IGC on Proposed Charter Amendments

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

Have the amendments that I co-proposed been lost.

I am totally confused about what is going on with this process.   
I do not know what 1, 2, 3 are.  Is on line somewhere?

Is the vote to wait until every amendment everyone has ever wanted also gets discussed and put on the ballot?
