The Board doesn't let arbitrary resolutions just drop on our desk. We expect them to be in a form that we agree with. Thus, any pTLP resolution must fit our expectations. That means "how does this look, Board? what needs to change?" Part of that has already occurred, when I provided some feedback on the (concrete) Zest resolution.

New approaches can be discussed anywhere. At the end of the day, it will be the Board who votes on a pTLP resolution. -g
