How can it be made clearer?
Ah, that wasn't clear, indeed. I read it as "if no general resolution is voted on within the first year", but that's not what you meant. Alternative wording, hrm. Something like: If one year after the first proposed general resolution since this resolution is accepted no proposal has received the required number of seconds, this resolution expires (...) Would seem clearer; the "in a year" in your wording really isn't stating explicitly enough that it is meant to start after the first GR proposal. > > - You should probably make it explicit that DPL elections do not count > > :-) > > I thought the constitution was pretty obvious that DPL elections are > not general resolutions (for example, "5.2.

Something like that could work, although you're right that it isn't actually necessary. -- <Lo-lan-do> Home is where you have to wash the dishes. -- #debian-devel, Freenode, 2004-09-22 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
