Currently, I think it is. But I'm still open to let people convince me otherwise. So the options I currently see is: - That someone convices me that you can still overturn his decision to change the discussion period after he called for vote. In theory he could change the discussion period and call for vote at the same time, and in that case I would clearly allow it, but I'm not sure where the line is between allowing it and not. - That someone convices that amendements that received enough sponsors reset reset the discussion period. > I would like to point out that I asked you for advice about this on > the 20th of November.
