Ok, Lets #1, put this proposal (with your mods) up for vote, and #2 incorporate it into the Charter. Can I get you to write it up in a manner that will be incorporated into the Charter and then post that section to the list for VOTE? I'd do it myself, but I have another work related proposal I have to finish up. I also don't have CVS access while at work--I just got my other machine, so I will see what I can do with it. > > ;-) > > Steve. > > >I also like the qualification of not allowing a VOTE unless it is > >previously been a PROPOSAL. > > > > > > > >>From: Stephen McConnell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > >> > >>Berin Loritsch wrote: > >> > >> > >> > >>>I am putting this in another thread because Charter.txt is now > >>>very long and we have two types of voting on the table.
