I don't think that's true; Michelle, for example, wants us to pass a policy statement saying we will only create amendments to the current document, and she has also proposed a new project to enact part of that constitution more precisely. By avoiding the discussion we are having a decision made for us by default to discard the new draft, only make amendments to the old document and delay revision until next year. > I think we have many other issues to work out before > we even get to that point I think it's as simple as Peter asserts and I suggest we pick up the thread over there.
